Smashing stuff Jed. Like the others I cant wait to see what you get with a data set with several minutes exposure! I've no doubt its gonna be blinding!!
Also Jed said something to me on the phone that I thought was quite interesting. You see Jed used to be a die hard emulsion fan. Jed said that the few hours he spent out on friday night with his 350D was far far more productive than any other astrophotography session he ever did with emulsion.
Maybe something for the beginners to learn from.
