I suspect the point of my post has been lost.

Lance (a fellow professional aviator) took this photo with a 250mm Telephoto and Sony 071 chipped one shot camera.

He uses a nearly decade old Losmandy G-11, and while a 250mm lens is hardly going to task most mounts...the result frankly blew me away.

My point was: with a good OSC camera, heck of a nice telephoto lens, star tracker and pristine dark sky, the result can be stunning.

Sure if you don't know your base from you apex, the results can be rather sad....but duh...this is not an expensive system....which has me pondering
the ROI on some of the seriously expensive stuff stuff I use.

Times they are a changin'..........
