Congratulations to Wee Nghee!

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!

Thank you thank you! THe shot was done from my flat's window, under shade, with the fan turn on, and protected from the Sun Rays, around 5pm. No dripping of sweat into the eyes. :)

There is another one on July 8th 2007.

Enjoy!
