And not everyone is flash enough financially to be able to afford to spend two or three grand (or more) on a digital camera and all the required paraphenia to make it useful astrophotographically. Film is the way to got to learn the ropes.
Ian not so !!, a reasonable DLSR can be brought for as cheap as $600 furthermore how often do you actually do prints of the images taken using a DSLR.
