Fell across the Fornax region, so started aiming for various areas there. No specific target searches, just took a 20sec image (with the sensitive A7s), plate solved and peered. And peered! I ended up taking an hour to compose my shot and loved every freaking second of it! Enthralling, mystical, searching for those incredibly massive and populous galaxies. I could feel myself succumbing to the aperture and focal length bug! No.....dont order the RC Simon!!!! Well not yet anyway.

Ah ha! Good for you Simon!
Amen
to that! ..the simple things are sometimes worth savouring and enjoying. Sometimes imagers can easily get lost in being determined to produce the perfect award winning image, or demonstrate they have the best equipment or take the ubberest deep shot ever etc... aaaand forget what it is they are actually doing...imaging celestial objects that most people only dream about or more often than not, are completely unaware of...
Do it, order the RC, you know you want to
...long lonely nights under the stars is usual for me...have you tried drinking and singing...?
