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!

The rosette Nebula is not in Orion, but in Monoceros. It's also very dim (Mag. 9) so it probably won't show up with my kind of photography.

Another constellation photo

10 Mar 2008, 01:47am, Mersing, Malaysia.
ISO1600, 10s, 50mm f2.0/1.8, Canon EOS350D - 16 photos stacked with Deep Sky Stacker. Slightly hazy skies.

Widefield of Corona Borealis. Unfortunately, they aren't many Deep Sky Objects around this area. But I believe the lovely C shaped constellation is a beauty by itself.

10 Mar 2008, 02:02am, Mersing, Malaysia.
ISO1600, 15s, 50mm 1.8, Canon EOS350D - 15 photos stacked with Deep Sky Stacker. Slightly hazy and cloudy skies.

Widefield of the crux rigeon and the eta carinae region. Obviously visible is the Great Nebula in Carina, the Southern Pleidaes, Running Chicken Nebula (IC 2944), The Pearl Cluster (NGC 3766), The Wishing Well Cluster (NGC 3532), Open Star Cluster NGC 3114, Open Star Cluster NGC 3572, and I'm sure you can find more! And yes the top of a tree in the photo...

Enjoy!
