People often raise questions about the comparison between a CCD camera and a DSLR. The thumbnail below gives a direct comparison. Both images were taken with the same scope. To be fair, I should state that the DSLR was 60min exposure, while the CCD was 100 min, but this is really only going to affect noise levels and won't make much difference to the overall impression.

PS: You have to work out for yourself which is the CCD image and which is the DSLR image.
