Rob, I take it you are using transparency film? Are you scanning the 4x5? Any chance of enlarging and scanning say, an 8x10? I get the feeling there is a lot more detail than is making it through the digital conversion- the same problem I have when scanning my old Hale-Bopp prints. Great shots- you are having too much fun!

I can remove the coma by stopping down, problem is that 4X5 sheet film has a top ISO of 100 and even w/ a 1 1/2 stop push (320 IS)) exposure is 90 minutes at F4

Hi Chuck I use Fuji Astia sheet film (color transparency) and after processing, it is scanned at 4800dpi and then put into Photoshop where it is color corrected, sharpened 1 level, and some compression of contrast. If a print is made then scanned, it's a 2nd generation scan and is as good as the enlarging lens in the enlarger. I scan at film grain level, beyond that is empty magnification, no gain, it then falls back to the taking lens and sharpness of focus and accuracy of guiding. Anyone have a Hasselblad Fisheye I can borrow?? aloha Rob
