Tony,
that is a great plan for all of us to see. Guys like you and me that have
been doing film all of our lives have to be persuaded pretty hard to give it up
for some technology still in its childhood. But remember, dont lean either
way and be biased going into the tests, or they may end up exactly as you feel
now about CCD. Give both an exactly equal chance!

Hello,
Daphne, aka the voice of
reason, has suggested that since this is such a big decision to abandon
CCD, it would be wise to run a test using slide films (Provia 100, 400, and
Kodak 200) and then compare them to a CCD image. I thought about this and
decided that, as usual, she's right... we need to make a test. You guys will
be the eventual winners because I am going to post the results. The image will
be M42 taken through the 300 f/4 EDIF and I will show the full 35mm frame and
a cropped version that mimics the CCD field...I would prefer shooting through
the main scope but the seeing won't co-operate.
I am going to reshoot
with the CCD using much shorter exposures and add the frames to get around the
blooming issues...I'll do the best job I can on all these images... hopefully
by the end of this DOM I'll be able to post the results. Based on these
results I will then decide which way to go... you already know which way I am
leaning.
