Scientific paper

Observational and darkroom techniques used with a 0.35 m, f 2.9 Schmidt camera are described. Kodak 2415 film, hypersensitized by 2.5 hr in dry nitrogen at 65 C followed by 5 min in 100% hydrogen is used. Faint features are printed using superimposed negatives. High contrast copies are made using Kodak LPD7 film. The LPD7 prints are copied onto equidensity film to study gas density gradients in galaxies and nebulae. High contrast, full color saturated prints are produced from monochrome positive copies by exposing the copy transparencies through filters onto Cibabhrome A2 paper, and applying dodging and shading techniques.
