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!

Hi Kelvin,
No dewing problem .
Hi Wu SW 120 is a nice scope to handle, especially as it is very light and does not burden the mount. As for the image, I still have not mastered MaxIm , being an IP user so far, that is why I got a "Chicken" here instead of a "Swan".

No Rich , I am not as brave as Matthew to go alone !. Now-a days I go to Sedili with Mr. Goto.
