Which slide film do you use?

Hi all..
I used Kodak E100S slide film for astrophotography. When Kodak announced that they were going to stop this film, I purchased some stock of them. But now, I have to find alternatives.
E100G & VS is not good for astrophotography.
Do you think that E200 is OK?

Hi,

E200 is good. Indeed, E200 has been the primary slide film used by astrophotographers in the US, not E100S. E200 has good red response but relatively poor blue. Fuji Provia 400F has better balanced red and blue.

Cheers,
