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!

But in the rush, did not charge up laptop batteries, still had fun though.

CCD:Celestron Nightscape
Guider: Orion SSAG w/ 80mm short tube, guided by PHD.
WO Flattener IV

5 x 5min
