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!

Very sharp indeed. I'm curious about that black spot at the bottom of both the first and second picts (missing in the third one) just to the right of the centre there.

that black blob is not ET... it's a dust bunny on the camera sensor.

The black blobs are the dust in the optical path or sensor , and shows up , as I still do not have a lightbox and donot calibrate with flats. Just lazy to make a light box.
