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!

Did you kena poisoned by Mersing night sky? Elton is going next month, maybe a bigger group + good AP teachers there will help a lot.
Cliff, we were expecting to be poisoned but were left wanting more!
You will need to teach me your star hopping skills, it would be essential now that I dont' have goto on which I have been dependent on for so long

If you join Elton and gang, the guru will be there, they know the night sky a lot of times better than me. I only good for Southern sky, now is Northern sky and I'm bad in this part of the sky, must double check with map.
