I made this an OT thread since it's not film.

Here's three test exposures I've done. I consider them all  
underexposed when compared to the total exposure time times that many  
are using. I used my AP 155EDF for all of them. All processing was  
done in Photoshop except alignment where necessary with Registar, and  
noise reduction with Noise Ninja.

Pelican (12 x 10mins @ ISO 800 - 4 exposures lost to clouds)

Part of IC1318 (13 x 12 mins @ ISO 800 - 3 exposures lost to clouds)

I'm waiting for new software because Photoshop is inadequate for  
digital imaging. I think in order to surpass my TP tricolors I'll  
need about the same exposure time, i.e., a total of 7 - 10 hours.
