Jeff,
Very nice!
The world has come a long way since the 60s when I started out with a 3" refractor and then a 6" f8 Wildley reflector.
The "best" images at the time (Tri-X) were detailed in S&T etc.

My bible at the time was Thomas Rackham's "Astronomical Photography at the telescope" (available now on Archive.org)


Nowadays CCD/CMOS cameras have allow us to dramatically change the landscape of astronomical imaging - much better quality.
