Some Milky Way composures ('analog' versions)

Post by rcj »

Alright! This is rare! Recently, in the process of revamping my website, and running through old hard disks, i've found two raw film images taken way back 7 years ago at the Mersing site. These were taken with a 1970s Nikon EM SLR, and with Nikon 28 and 50 AIS lenses. Each (i think!) must have been at least an hour exposure long. It was interesting to go back to these data, and process them like the recent projects.
