My first humble shot of M42....

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!

Wow ! Incredible shot.
Well done.

Only a single 30 sec and you get so much details.

Your place sky very dark. Where do you live?
