Answer to Question 1

The CCD is far more efficient in capturing light than the fastest film, so fainter objects can be imaged with much shorter exposures or with smaller, cheaper telescopes. The image is digital, and can be monitored as it is building up for quality assurance; you don't have to wait to develop the film to know that you have good data. This digital image is easily stored on computers, and quickly shared with others via the Internet and many other media.
