I am interested in amateur astrophtography and would appreciate any suggestions on what I need to get started or any advice at all. I have a Canon AE-1, with 135mm/f2.8 and 50mm/f1.8 lenses. I would like to start with some simple projects that don't involve motor driven mounts or fancy lenses; maybe star-trails, meteor showers or the moon. What are people's experience? What type of film should I get? What range of apertures and shutter times? Please respond by mail. Thanks. ------------------------------------ emh for: Jean Hummel {ihnp4,allegra,...}!clyde!bonnie!emh

About half of the responses were requests for a copy of any information I might receive. In another week or so (depending on the rate of responses), I will post a summary follow-up.
