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!

Nice and beautiful shots!
Oval star shape in the M83 image due to tracking error?

I realised in Feb 2022. Should be due to slightly out of focus and resulted in elongated stars.
Hopefully I can redo in near future.

After I shot M42, I decided to try Flame Nebula and Horsehead Nebula. Unfortunately, I didn’t turn on the dew heater of the camera and resulted at least two dew marks on the glass panel in front of the sensor of the camera. I only realised this mistake during the next shooting session in Feb 2022. After I cleaned it, it was back to normal.
