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!

Thanks Airconvent! Yes most definately understanding all the in's and out's of registration/calibration of the Astro Imaging software's capability, extras, especially Maxim DL.
All Post process/layering/etc is almost always done in PS which I am more familiar with from Photography days.
Think the hardest learning curve for me was attempting to balance my LP polluted 2nd floor balcony with exposures that can grab as much detail as it can allow me. And with the 1.4MP SSDSI OSC...color rendition is hard to control with a cam thats getting old. But with all this practice I can at least justify a step up in the CCD...hehe.

*urm...also a new batch of 300s darks helped alot!!...LOL! Just wondering if I should DIY a light box or just grab a EL panel...cost devided by laziness = getting nowhere...LOL!
My wife never complained about how much time, effort & money I spent on my Astronomy hobby!................suddenly I met her!!!
