Default Digital vs. Film in Astrophotography

I think that is what I have been saying......

The trick with film is that you can expose it even longer than that in

order to
bring some of the wispy detail up on the image, and still have a

reasonable
looking core. But even so, that core has been pushed up onto the flat part

of
the response curve, which means that much of the structural detail has

been
obliterated, even if it doesn't have the characteristic blown-out

appearance of
a saturated CCD image.
