Re: [APML] film vs CCD

Hi Sean--those shots are beautiful!!
I have been impressed with what can be achieved with the relatively low end ST-237.
But, if I add up the total exposure times for example on your M20 shot, it looks like more than
3 hours. Why do you say its hard to get yourself to put film thru your scope any more? Isn't the
total amount of exposure time required to accumulate the data for the images pretty much the
same as with hypered film?
