Re: [APML] What direction now? (was NGC 3628)

[Joe Mize <jmize@globe-net.net>]

At the risk of loosing some of our very good members I agree with Bobby.  I'm
missing the 'film' end of this discussion group too.  The CCD images are simply
amazing and I enjoy them but I reflect what Bobby said, "As far as I know, this
is the only _film astro-imaging list_ there is."  Let's not loose it by going
over to the 'dark side'.  Once it's gone it'll probably never be regained...joe
