Thanks, Dave for the input.
My client is looking for a red nitrate strobe and I have been working hard to produce one, so far I have had some interesting results.

Interesting with antimony trisulfide in a color composition! One kind think that the antimony would dilute the color to a more pastel shade but I remember a friend who developed a very good blood red ordinary star composition and in his opinion the antimony trisulfide gave it a better color saturation!
