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!
Finally managed to get one of my elusive winter targets. This was taken on the same night as the central Orion region (1 Nov ) with the same light weight setup . The nebula nestles within the star rich milky way, with pretty low surface brightness, I find it quite a challenge to process the image without being overwhelmed by the stars. Lol.

"The importance of a telescope is not how big it is, how well made it is.
It is how many people, less fortunate than you, got to look through it."
