Am Reconsidering the whole Astro thing.

[skytry (Peter)]

hi Bob,
I am reading what you have written,

I too have many items too clear out of my possession,
this shall be done shortly,

yet, keeping a few items for travelling,
keeping it simple stupid, my answer,

my images are for me, if others are interested,
I shall share, yet, my family are always interested,

many of my images up there are the same, yet depending on
your gear, & location, colour differences prevail,

as an interesting hobby, one, cannot go fishing & lawn bowls
all the time,
dark skies in central Australia are top's, nothing like it,
there are so many unknowns to be photographed in the night,

enjoy what you do, don't make a hasty decision!,

rgds,
Peter,


having the travel bug, my travels take me all over Australia,

1stly,, I like to thank each & everyone for all your individual thoughts, expressions and input.

I have read through them a few times now, and it has helped, in more ways than one, ,

Admittingly I look back to the start and see I have a different frame of mind now, thanx for the encouragement & the help for me to realize
and put into perspective where I am at and where I can go from here...

I was out with the 'Cosmo Caboose's 10" newt last night thinking, tinker, thinking, tinkering till 2am,,,, it was mostly cloudy/overcast but I managed
to rearrange the focus train for the cam & filterwheel after sorting through dozens of mismatched pieces to have most of it connected now by
screw-in fittings/adapters and reach focus (on building lights 7k's away) with plenty spare travel.
That said, I know not how the stars will look on a clearer night, pin-point, spurs, bloats and/or seagulls ?
Can only wait, see and carry one from there, with a better sense of patience from all your encouraging replies I know I can accomplish more,
especially if I concentrate on just one rig - have it working acceptingly from the ground up to the lappy ?
Then have a think on what to do with all the other gear, left-overs and excess ?

Thanks again for helping with freeing my back foot out of a bogg & my mind out of a rut.
You are all champions in one way, form or other

Working with what I have,,,, for now, hoping to move forward, one 'correcting' step at a time & maybe see the light at the end of the tunnel sooner than later

Cheers
