Astro Photography back in FILM Days : The photos in this gallery were done with film in the “last century”! Those of you who are using digital cameras, image stacking, auto guiders, and “go to” telescopes don’t have a good feel for the challenges in astro photography in the old days. There is no question that today’s equipment can produce much higher quality images with less effort than before, and that’s a good thing. To put this in perspective, when the 200 inch telescope went into operation in the early ‘50s the limiting magnitude star it could photograph with available film was about 21st magnitude. That magnitude star can now be photographed with a 10 inch scope using today’s digital cameras. That is just amazing to me when you realize that the 200 inch scope gathers 400 times more light than a 10 inch scope! Please enjoy these images from the old days.
