CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

I second that. I had scoured the Internet for panstarrs images whilst tracking it's progress in the hope i could recognise it. IMHO, Jiahao, your photos are the best out there.
Thanks KK and Maguro. I'm sure as the moon moves out of the way next week there will be plenty of jaw-dropping shots from the northerners coming out.

Hi Gary, unfortunately I was clouded out on that specific day, just not meant to be...
I had been anticipating to view the conjunction for quite a long time, since my previous sighting of such event dates back to 1997's Hale-Bopp show and 16 years of time makes me very nostalgic
Close conjunction of comet Pan-STARRS and Andromeda Galaxy(M31). Also captured in the image is M33 on the left below the watermark, and a small meteor right beside the comet. Lucky!
