	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.
