I'm much newer to this game than you and I'm beginning to see how frustrating the hobby can be. I still haven't managed to get aligned well enough - despite putting in a lot of effort - to do pics greater than 30-40 seconds (I can't see the south celestial pole)

Overall, I'm wondering what your expectations are & what you view as a worthwhile picture?

Here are my first ever pics

Here is my first ever go at a nebula

The longest exposure in this bunch is 20 seconds. They are nowhere near as good as anything normally posted - would you view these are worthwhile? Don't worry you won't hurt my feelings if you say 'no', just trying to gauge where your aiming at.

Cheers
Mick
