Taken at Kissimmee Pairie State Park, FL on the moring of Feb 27 with a old Canon F-1 with a 24mm lens at f5.6 using lens shade and dew heater, Fuji 100 asa film. Exposure around 3 hours. I should have gotten more foreground but I wanted to avoid the skyglow along the horizon. Can anyone auggest a filter to reduce sky glow for a wide angle exposure like this?

Thanks, Allen Como

A very impressive & dramatic set of pictures Allen.

On the question of light pollution filters, well many companies make 1.25" & 2" LPR's to fit into the barrell of eyepieces. I know that, in addition to this IDAS supply LPR's with threads for common camera lenses (e.g. 48mm, 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm etc.) but these come at a price!
