My pet peeve is mega dollar cameras in the beginners contests…
They are hard to top with a $400 CCD.

Yeah, I understand that. OTOH, I think it's fascinating seeing the range of images from handheld snapshots to polished hubble-worthy images all together. I really hope no one is discouraged to enter when they see some of the high-end images. Also, there is a rule that will eventually weed out the 'pros' from the competition

For the bright objects, the $150 Toucam variations seem to produce some of the best images. The main thing there is patience and experience with stacking.
