Hi Raymo,
As I said, I'm not discouraged in the slightest, quite the opposite. If Astrophotography was easy I wouldn't be doing it. When I'm told that something is going to be very difficult / impossible, that's when I sink my teeth in.
I am limited by my equipment and I am well aware of that. There are things that I can change ( focus accuracy, alignment, processing techniques ) and there are things that I can't ( Sky glow, the focal ratio of my scope, tracking smoothness ). I certainly don't post anything for the sake of affirmation, I do it for education. I posted my focus shot so I could be told where I was going wrong and I was, it's not accurate enough. By learning these things now, I can apply them to better equipment later down the track. You don't learn to drive in a formula 1 car but a formula 1 driver can help you learn how to take the corners in your ford focus.
I have seen your work and I think it's great. My equipment will not allow me to do what yours can but I am happy to learn the techniques to get the best out of what I have.
