Hi Andy,
I think Roger is talking about using his astro gear for amateur astronomy (scientific) purposes rather than astro imaging for the purpose of art.
This may entail searching for supernova/comets etc to providing data of minor planet occultation of stars
which can be used to refine minor planet sizes / orbits etc.
As for me, I have blown quite a few printed on canvas and hang in my house (on rotation). I also made a calendar last year that i circulated to my family and friends. Just a couple of tips from my experiences ...
1. On the canvas thing, good for planetary and rich nebs, but not so good in a rich star field.
2. Printing on gloss finish paper makes it way too hard to what's on the page!
Cheers,
Rusty
ps i'll add that scientific photo's/data generally ain't pretty!!
