Here's a different image for a change, stumbled upon from an old, almost forgotten, harddisk - of the Orion constellation, taken way back in 2002 during an expedition to Mersing! In fact, to be exact, it was dated during the 15-17th March 2002 expedition! This is obviously a film-based image then. Interesting, it was taken by a medium format camera I'd owned for a period. It is not exactly a top notch image, and as you can see, there is banding evident in the image (left side) and the plane of the film was not held entirely flat then. This was a direct scanned result from the slide. The details of the image are as follows:
Film: Ektarchrome 200, 120 format
Imager: Hasselblad CF80mm f2.8 set at f5.6, Hasselblad 500CM
Guidescope: Tak FC60 on the Losmandy G11 mount.
Exposure: 50 minutes. No autoguiding! Fully manual, lots of mosquitoes!
Scanner: Agfa Duoscan 1000ppi
It was quite exciting back then, I could remember, when this image showed almost all the nebulosity features, notably the Barnard's Loop, Orion Bubble, M42, B33, Rosette, and the Witch-head Nebula (possibly with a little imagination!)....
