Put me down as a definitely on this one .... as cool as CCDs are you just can't beat good old fasioned film!

I am only a poor student so my equipment is limmited. I donlt have a drive motor on my telescope so I have no way of making my Camera track so all my photos are taken on a static tripod, but I can still get some nice shots when conditions are good, Even managed the Milkyway on a perfect night

Yeah Keith, I'm up for it. I've been trying it out for the last 2 years, and so far, its fun to try ways of taking astronomical observations...

Hello Gents, i've suggested that a new photo section be set up sometime in the future so that we can all share our shots, hopefully it can be done!

Anyway, for the moment, i've posted some of my shots on the 'old' photos section of the yahoo IFAS site
