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!
It looks like weather will not allow me to complete this project any time soon.

if so then it looks like stars are round and small to the edge. there's a bit of elongation but i don't know if that's imperfect tracking or the scope..
Hi, Orly,
It is not a cropped image. Hoever , the guiding was not perfect that day and I stacked with over 60 % elongated stars.
No cosmetic adjustments were done as this was not the final image. Probably I will discard this as better framing also is needed for a good image.
