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!

A re-visit back to this object. This is taking a way wee bit of time to process, not including the capture duration amounting several hours total over several nights (from 2 wks since), this composite of the Vela Supernova Remnant is colorized to mimic CFHT observatory palette using just hydrogen-alpha and oxygen-iii data, all taken from Singapore. If there's time, will squeeze in some suphur-ii captures next...NEA flash floods?

The orange-reds depict the hydrogen-alpha dominant regions and the magentas depict the oxygen III prevalent areas.
