It always amazes me how much detail can be seen in a 30 second image taken

with a CCD camera.Here are some examples of how much deatail is visible in a

14 inch telescope at f/6.3 using a Sbig ST10Me CCD camera.

Here is an excellent example of the detail visible in a 30 second image taken by Greg of NGC6215.

Showing more detail than the DSS image(D​igitized Sky Survey).
