RE: digital pinhole?

Most astronamers use digital now. So digital can do long exposures. It's
just that most digital camera aren't designed to.
I imagine that it takes a constant stream of photos, and merges them
together.

The newer, more expensive camera apparantly can handle longer
exposures better. Here is a 30 second Nikon D1 exposure (not pinhole):

the dots in the night sky are stars, and not artifacts!

In a few years, technology will increase to where long exposures
will be routine, I imagine...
