Be well and best wishes with the new venture.

It's been a long walk since the early 2000's. I haven't done any planetary imaging for a year or so now. I am trying automate a system for use at Swan Reach, which I may or may not hire out in the long run. I just don't want to sit up and watch seeing on nights of average seeing anymore and would prefer to automate capture. I can sit at home now and capture but it still requires sitting up for hours after my bed time.
Interestingly, prior to early 2000's I was doing DSO with film which started in the 1980's and hypering it to get better performance. Things have changed a lot since then and even in the last 10 years. Camera performance now is way better than some of the big name brands were putting out just 10 years ago. It's been a real revolution.
We hope SR will provide a suitable income in time but for now we are enjoying the imaging and the very dark and still skies.
