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!
Really pulling out my hairs while processing this image, acquiring the images were the easy part, but getting the colours right proof tricky ( i know the colours will never be right ). I will call this a hybrid composite image, the colour data comes from a stack of 20 single shot images with Canon 30D DSLR, and the high resolution luminance part is actually a 30 panel mosaic from DMK 41 webcam. The imaging OTA is Tak Mewlon 210.
