I think we will probably need a flat bed scanner ( I presume it is the type
that scans prints ) If I were just using it for my astro work I might
consider the slide/neg scanners, especially after I got my first roll of
ektachrome ll 200 back. I was quite pleased with the jupiter shots on it
and they were much better than any print shots I had done so far.....  So
is anyone out there proud enough of their flat bed scanner
to recommend it?  Are these type scanners good enough to do
astrophotography work?
