Previous post were talking about film over CCD. I personally prefer (for now) working with film. Gimme a chip the size of the Pentax and i'll see.

ah yes; beautiful image. I love film for it's huge field of view and ease of use. I use it whenever I can (which is very little). New Mexico is one story, but try taking such an image from a very light polluted suburban back yard. This is where film is useless, yet the ccd will still allow you to image. Each definately has its place. When I get to a good sky, I take film. 330 other days of the year, I'm ready to go with my ccd.
