Thank you all for the kind words. MLParkinson - not condescending at all. These shots aren't to the level of the stuff produced with a scope with auto guiding systems, etc. Just make do with a 200mm lens + 2xTC on an Astrotrac. And still learning with that set up. Drift alignment is getting faster and better every time. Have been contemplating a fast Newtonian though - say 8" f4.0 with a good mount that's portable
