I never remember to get something from the library. So, anyone know what
shutter/aperture settings to use to capture constellations or just the
night sky? I'm currently loaded with my last or second to last roll 
of Superia 400 (after that, I'm going E6). The night skies are getting
clearer and the crisp air is too tempting to stay indoors. I don't have a
cable release yet, but it's on the way. 
So, for 400 speed print film, what speed/aperture values do you advise?
What about lenses (I'll experiment anyway). I have 28/3.5, three 50s
(1.4MC 1.8MC 3.5MC macro) and the 200/4. I'm thinking of starting with the
1.8. 30seconds sound OK for wide-open 50/1.8?
Thanks to all.
