You do such wonderful images Colin.
They are inspirational not in the sence that I think that I could ever do as good ...its like watching a great bike rider and knowing what it takes to take it to that level...but that there is someone out there who can do things so well.
And look you need to retire so this work doesnt interfere with your astronomy. ..My advice is make a vast fortune quickly and set up a number of remote observatories around the place so bad weather lessens its impact on photon time.
That why I would love a dragon fly set up no filter wheels as one scope one band.
It was so good when I lived the hermit life..That photo above was taken over and over night after night all night five nights or more but full time ..slept during the day played astronomy all night.
You can never get enough and after a ehile its weird how out there you get...I dont know if you have ever exlerienced standing but loning up with out there even though you are on the planet but your perception changes to out there...you are standing on a big ball ...sounds strange and it was the way I could experience the whole thing.
I cant name a lot of stuff but I have spent just countless hours exploring and its like a city but down here all the streets are gone.
Even when I look at where I know the Milky Way is and know the stars its just foreign somehow..
