Don't think that's entirely correct. I think what has put most people of was that if someone was interested in astrophotography they did the easy bright objects like M42 etc etc and planetary is difficult and an additional expense to use a good camera. Most of us were stuck with a webcam and frustrated with trying to get a half decent image.
But things have changed now with great software like winjupos and Autostakkert combined with the ridiculously cheap ZWO cameras that really perform, people are starting to invest more time and effort. But we would not have if it hadn't been for the likes of you and the great planetary imagers that post on IIS to inspire us.
I know you have done it for me.
Thanks John et al but don't stop posting
