AW: [APML] CCD on APML (was: NGC 7331)
Hi Eddie, Eric and all others,
my way to astrophotography and to the APML was very much the same as
Eddie's. Today I do both - Film and CCD - and I enjoy them both and will
do them both in the future as long as my sky allows and there are
usefull films available. For me it's astrophotography no matter what
medium is used. I admire excelent CCD shots and Film shots as well. When
I take a look for example at Loke Tan's website I see that some really
are able to get the best from both "worlds". But I must say I don't
really see two "worlds" and find it strange that some people want to
keep a borderline that does not exist.
Just my 2 Euro-Cent.
