My Comet Lovejoy photo won TWAN Photo Contest 2012!

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!

I did sent the photo to them but apparently didn't make it, haha. Seems like their taste quite different from TWAN judges :mrgreen:
