No reason to envy me - look at Mike B-J ... he has a much bigger one! Don't worry Mike, when you grow up you'll have good equipment too!

Personal taste issue - not worth mentioning.

Debate? OK. I don't hide anything in my images exactly because I'm striving for the
best result possible with my equipment and because I'm imaging at high resolution. My bet is that there are others out there like me who get a kick out of seeing how high a resolution an amateur can achieve (from the outskirts of a big city at sea level). Yes, every nuance of my processing is there for all to see, so, if you can see warts on my images then mention them (even if by PM) so I can fix them and improve. I'm always trying to improve so if I know about a (reasonably significant) wart, I'll fix it.
