Good Evening all;
For a different approach to astrophotography try this;
Load an OM1 (or other OM at hand) with Fuji Sensia 400 slide film. Try
various exposures of your favorite area of the sky (experiment a little,
its fun); Process the film in C-41 at your favorite lab and have them make
prints or mount the unmasked slides/now negatives.
Try it and tell me what you think.
Good luck, Mike
