I used a 500MM F 4.5 Pentax Takumar telephoto lens mounted to a screw thread Fujica body. Mounted the monster on a tripod, aimed it at Orion, Opened the shutter (on bulb) and walked away for about 20 or so minutes. I used Kodachrome 64. I set my field of view so the stars moved from upper left to lower right, causing star trails. The exposure showed the more or less true colors of these stars. This was around 1975 or so.

Torch ... you mean you used a 500mm lens from a Pentax 6x7 and put it on a Fujica 690? ... 1975, huh? ... What? ... Has it gone the way of the Stardust, now?
