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!
This object is harder to image than I had anticipated. The surface brightness is very dim, just a notch or two above the ambient air glow. Haze and high humidity leads to severe gadients too. You can see from the picture, more integration time would be necessary to smooth it out.
