So a convenient excuse ....Mmmmm sorry I cant deal with that at the moment as I am conducting a sky survey looking for dark matter stars.

Yep, there's lots to be found, even for amateurs. I'm a very simple guy (ask Ken - Merlin66 ) with simple gear and not a lot of time but I regularly image Milky Way fields with a wonky second-hand 55mm lens on an entry-level DSLR using a star tracker. In an old version of Photoshop I overlay & align my shots over previous images and make the top one disappear & re-appear with the layer transparency slider and anything new will blink at you, difficult to miss! Keeps me out of the pub and keeps my mind off the bigger questions of life, the Universe and all that!

Cheers -
