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 decided that I could do no more processing that will improve this picture, so I'm putting it up for the enjoyment of everyone (I hope!)
Put your mouse over it and the constellation lines will show.

Hi,
Wow... very nice and impressive!! Will think that you take this image in Mersing or Batu Layar... If you don't indicate that this is taken in Singapore.
Have a nice day.

Hi Botok, I did it in photoshop as there is more control that way and I could not apply the akira fuji effect to the final image as most of the stars were saturated. I took a single exposure and isolated the stars from there in a photoshop layer. The idea was of course from IRIS.
