I'm a bit worried by your choice of film. To me, 800 ASA is a fast film,
which will have coarse grain. I normally preder something slower than
100ASA. And then there's the issue of developing and printing it. These

There is a 1600 Pan--something_or_other that Kodak makes
that is also fine grain. I've used it to make C size blowups
of astro pictures. It is hard to find but it is available.
Most places I went would tell me that it was only use by
professionals and they didn't carry it. I wish I could
remember that name.

I do not do analogue pictures any more, but I hear that Kodak TMax100
developed in FX39 is recommended as a reasonably fast (ISO 100)
high-resolution (80 lp/mm) combination. I used ISO 40 film (Adox or Agfa)
developed in Rodinal when I still was doing that kind of thing, but much
has changed with film manufacture in the meantime. Rodinal is still
supposed to be up to par for developing, though.
Faster film is not really useful for technical pictures in my opinion, it
is fine for artistic, sports or news photography.
There are obvious exceptions: I used high-speed film for making
oscilloscope shots, where grain really does not matter.
