My brain feels like it is starting to work a little better and it seems to be comprehending more.
So the experience is most positive.
I think because things seem to take more effort as you get old or manage a disability you (I☺) become more lazy ....I am determined to turn this around.
I feel like I have set out on an ocean voyage in an unprepared boat patching it to keep afloat and ignorant as to how hopelessly unprepared I was when I started.
And so I must patch and work hard to stay afloat.
I can see thousands of hours of work ahead of me which grows as I learn more.
I realise my images are primative and must appear like finger painting to the informed but I will get better.
There is so much to do...the mount needs work to get better performance, the optics need adjustement, ....oh the list.
The whole thing is bringing back my perfectionist thing that I spent decades to surpress.
But I think I can balance its application to my hobby with interaction with humans in my world...Perfection will be kept to astronomy and in the world of humans I will enjoy being slack and non judgemental.

Your comments resonate with me Alex, six months ago I didn't own a telescope, the learning curve has been near vertical & what lies ahead seems mind boggling. Your level of commitment & transparency in these forums has been an inspiration to me personally.
Clear skies,
