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!

Thanks Gary for the link. Wow that was way back, yes I have since enhanced the performance of the camera with cooling, hence the noise has been greatly suppressed.
