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!
Ok.. I guess I wasn't too bright when I decided to shoot the Orion region during the Orionids using Rent-a-scope! Most of my shots had meteor trails in them. Luckily for MaxIm/DL!

The lower fuzzy is M42 (Orion Nebula), the little bright knob on top is M43, and the blue fuzzy on top is NGC1977.

I took out all the streaks using the Median function.
I did have one 'slow' streak that is interesting. Will run a check later on any asteroids passing by at that time!
Cheers!
