Rob,
It has always been my
position that the recording medium is not the point... over the years the
boundaries have greyed somewhat... along with our hair...I have utilized at
least 50% of my film skills when I dabble with CCD as the recording medium...
and I believe the final outcome of the CCD vs. film discussion was... do both!
Each medium is best suited for particular endeavors, and we are by now well
versed in the capabilities of each... some of us have to abide by financial
considerations, time considerations, and energy considerations... I really don't
like to stay up all night anymore, it tears me up the next day... who wants to
feel like that???
You have put in amazing
amounts of energy and dedication to astronomical imaging... you have set new
standards for urban astrophotography... you have shown that it is possible to do
the almost impossible... the drive to do this may have necessitated a certain
bias in certain directions, but that cannot diminish what you have
accomplished... no apologies needed.
Tony
