Hi there Mike,
Thanks for the compliments. Yes, there are still a few people using film. Not everyone can afford the SBIG STL11k for a similar 35mm frame size and dare I say it, the kodak 11k chipset sensitivity is on the low side compared to the 6303 or ME chipsets. Too many compromises.
I have been a lurker to IIS for about 7 months or so. Having joined an astronomy club and felt dissappointed at what was being offered, I've turn to IIS to seek some answers. Kind of like a virtual club I guess. You've got some great amateur astromomers here. I congradulate you for coming this far with your online presence and promoting the AU astronomy scene. Keep it up.
Regards,
