I notice going through the list that a lot of images have been taken with quite expensive equipment. My question is, as a relatively inexperienced astrophotographer, are the images good because of the expensive equipment, or are they good because they've been taken by experienced people who over time have upgraded to use expensive equipment? (in other words it's the person taking the photo's and not necessarily the equipment that has made them good?)
