But that issue is mount related, and will be a factor in film imaging as well. What I mean is, if you have a good PEC control, and a good guide CCD, you are relieved from the tediousness of using your own eye. And that requires a skill that is now left to a program, and CCD.

Ah, OK. Well, technically, that's really autoguiding vs manual guiding and not whether you are imaging with film or a CCD. You can, and people do, autoguide while imaging with film and guide manually while imaging with a CCD. It seems kinda obvious though that manual guiding is probably much more common with film imagers and autoguiding more common with CCD imagers.

So it goes to show that those who find simplicity in CCD imaging also find it in Autoguiding as well.

But this wasn't my issue, you brought up the mount issue. I simply gleaned off the notion that either or, you had mount issues with film as well as CCD.

I misunderstood what you were getting at, that's why I brought up the mount issue. Sorry for the confusion

I guess the issue of start and walk away is what is the main theme. You can't walk away from film imaging as you can with CCD driven my a program. Isn't this correct as you see it??

Sure you can start and walk away while imaging with film - by having a CCD do the guiding for you, and people do just that.
