Mike,
Thanks for the kind words! I've been gazing at your pics in magazines with Awe for quite some time (cool webpage by the way and hope you stay in the Canberra region!).
I'm using a C9.25 on the CG5 goto mount, pretty basic equipement. I do hope to guide at some point but might wait until I build the observatory (plans flowing through my head...).
I've also got a focal reducer coming which will help (especially combined with proper polar alignment).
I cant get over this web community here at IIS, all the support and encouragement is really great, a real boost!

The 20Da is fabulous! I dedicated my first half descent pic of M42 taken with my new 20Da to Striker for his kind and generous help in helping me get the equipement I needed.

Its an honour to be in the company of the Greats here in IIS ! I'll keep trying to do it justice.
Thanks
frank
