M31, with Carl Zeiss 300mm Sonnar
Even though this is just a 20 Minute exposure on E200 film, I am quite pleased
with the result. This shot was made with a 300mm f/4 lens and two of the dusk lanes within the galaxy
are captured. The "stripes" you can see on this picture are artifacts from my scanner.
