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!

May I ask, when and where did you take that image and how long was the exposure and the f-ratio? I am interested to know.
Dear Omega Centauri,

This is a stack of 13 exposures, each of 90s duration. So that makes total exposure time about 20 mins.

The f ratio is that of the telescope, which is the C9.25 with a x.63 reducer, so f/6.3

The image was taken from my house off Braddell Rd - with lots of streetlights nearby!
