I've been tapping away at this for 4months now, and i can still counton one hand the number of clear nights that I've not been outside with a scope. (I was even out night before last, with lightning still around, pushed my tripod feet into the mud and saw/split rasalgethi for the first time.. 110% worth it!) I really have a LOT of trash, but if the weather continues to be this bad, you may end up seeing all of it anyway  |
Just a word of warning about Astrobin, early this year Astrobin had a drive crash and there was no backup as a result many (most) members lost a considerable amount of their stored images. I lost about 200, and while I have the original files backed up on my external drive at home, the many hours required to upload and try to remember all the details and comments to set it all up again are not on my agenda now. Back up everything you do, somewhere you trust, and not on your PC alone; an external drive you own is ok initially.
It is also worth while to consider a journal to record your comments related to each image that you finalise, with the details you would want to share with any viewers later on; it is also useful for tracking your own progress on this journey.
