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 have to say sad day for me. My Astronomical computer has crashed two days ago. it was containing Images and lots of astronomical information those I collected in time. also lost recent collections of unfinished Tulip nebula, M3, M13, Ngc6960, Ngc6995 Zoom with long Focal length. Too bad, I didn't backup files earlier.
Last night I had setup the computer with new hard disk and tried to get all works to start again, so here is M3 globular cluster.
This is a RGB image with 1000mm FL.
Sorry to hear that Bro. If you don't have a habit of backing up, I suggest you sync everything into the cloud, so at least you have an automated backup copy.
Anyway, since you are re-starting, it just means you now have twice the fun getting those images...! Nice M3 Bro!
