Date: 15th March 1989
Time: 22:51 UT
Exposure: 2 sec @ f64
Equipment: 800mm FL f8 telephoto lens (Tokina) plus Two 2x teleconverters.
This gave a focal length of 3200mm.
Film: Kodak Tec Pan 2415
Dev: Technidol 10 min 20deg c
Site: Prestwich, Manchester, England
Notes:The lens was mounted on a tripod with a small drive. The exposure was made with the aid of a black piece of card held over the lens. When the shutter was pressed (cable release) the card was moved away to make the exposure then the card replaced over the lens to stop the exposure. The above was necessary as the opening of the shutter caused the lens to shake.
