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!
Added Hamburger Galaxy, taken with the Mewlon and the ASI1600MM cooled - my first RGB attempt... 95% of original framing. Mono only as conditions were too windy to get decent sets of colours.

How I wonder what you are.
Added 3 images from a recent trip down south to the flickr site. All wide field with 135mm Samyang, SWAT350 and stock Canon 5DS. Carina region, Rho complex and Coal Sack.
Just a note on the Samyang 135mm F2 - it is an amazing lens for the money, stars are round all the way to the extreme corners on the 50MP 5DS no less.
Flatfield, minimal CA and coma. Ideal for widefield AP!
