Re: [APML] M42- First CCD shot Tips needed

[Matt BenDaniel <matt@starmatt.com>]

Rich,

I'm afraid you just unintentionally stepped right into the middle of a
debate we are having about CCD.
The APML is a film oriented list.  Apparently the APML doesn't really
discuss CCD.
Perhaps a couple people on the list will volunteer some help for you
off-line.
There are CCD oriented lists, but I don't know enough to recommend one.

Sorry,
Matt
