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

Well Allan, I'm a bit peeved off nonetheless mate. I work hard at what I do & it's no easy feat to assemble 12 pane Solar mosaics in particular, only to get 2 or 3 replies...Perhaps the problem is I post too many lol. Well I took early retirement to devote myself to this so if I get a day & a night cloud free then I'm going to post the results. It gets me to thinking though, that perhaps my images are rubbish, you know? When you get next to no feedback, it's a natural thing to start thinking that way. It sounds a bit lame but yes, it's about REPLIES & DISCUSSION - If I didn't want that, I'd be posting the stuff to my own webpage & not in a bloody forum, right? As far as I can see, this is mainly a DSO forum these days which is fine but I see it as just another little problem. Gone are the days of 10 page discussions on planet imaging techniques & camera's etc. Anyway, I've said what I was thinking & now I'll shut the hell up & just keep posting lol.
BTW I'm so glad I have inspired you
Apologies to Trevor here too. I'm not into hijacking as you know.
