Not quite sure which section to put this, but I'm sure a kind mod can move it if it's in the wrong forum.
Anyway, to be honest I feel a little jealous with so many of you taking fantastic pictures with these new fangled Digital SLR cameras these days. I'm going to have to wait a while before I get one. They are getting cheaper all the time though.
I'm of the old film school, or at least used to be before all of my film cameras developed light leaks.
I started taking astro photos in the late 70's, first with the moon, then piggy back deep sky and eventually "through the scope". My equipment is modest drive wise. I'm still using old tape recorder and geared toy motors for drives! So the tracking isn't always good.
Just going through my old album and it would be a shame if no one else but me ever saw them.
So anyone want to see some old astro photos?
