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.
