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!
I thought I would go back to an old photo that I'm not happy with. The concept was there when I shot it, doing a bit of long exposure (30 seconds) and some light painting with my tail-lights etc, but the end result came up short.
So, what I have done now is some creative 'shopping and a bit of a blend with a 4 minute tracked exposure of the sky instead.
A bit dramatic and well over the line between photography and art, but I had fun putting it together.
