Doug Carlson skryf: This modified-colour photo of the Lagoon Nebula area is an unguided shot taken with a tripod-mounted 35mm camera (Nikon FE with 50mm Nikor lens at f/1.8, Konica Centuria 400 film, exposure duration 25 sec, cable release and mirror lock-up via self-timer.

I present a photo course from time-to-time (see www.mira9.co.za) which, if the participants are interested, includes a section on basic astrophotography. The technique is suitable for those with an appropriate 35mm camera and does not require any sophisticated tracking/observing equipment.
