I wanted to try astrophotography on film. I pulled my Pentax ME Super out of the basement, and tested a few things out to make sure it was seemingly operable. I loaded a roll of Fuji Superia 400 film. I used a Tokina 35-135mm f4 lens at 135mm f4. I setup my Sky Watcher Star Adventurer 2i and used my normal DSRL to get framed on M31. Then I switched to the Pentax to take the shot. Having read about reciprocity failure in film, I wasn't completely sure how long to expose, so I tried a 30 minute exposure. My alignment appears to be pretty decent for the 30 min exposure. I finally finished the roll of film about a year after taking this shot and sent it off to develop it this past September. I haven't edited or processed the shot at all yet. I am trying to get a film scanning rig setup and will then give it a go.
