Hi those in the know,
How long should I leave the shutter open on a Pentax K1000 camera in order to photo Mars? I realize film speed is an issue and I believe I have 400 speed kodak color film. It will be used in conjunction with a Vixen 140mm refractor f/5.7 and an Orion 8" reflector f/5.
Unfortunately I have only have taken one decent picture of M16 and a couple of the moon but for the most part it has been a shaky year of astrophotography. I will really appreciate the help because trial and error is getting expensive!
I hope to use this info tonight while it's a beautiful sky.
Cheers,
Don
PS I apologize for posting here. I was in the film section until I signed in and then it posted it here. Next time I'll sign in and then post.
