Hey Alex, a nice come back and welcome back image of M45, after your decade break too
I did serious astro
photography from 1982 to 1990 then got side tracked into the world of barbells, stone lifting and truck pulling

, then returned to what had become an astro
imaging world, in 2002 and bloody hell!... things had bloody changed, we had gone from film, developer, dark rooms, dry ice and hypering kits, to Goto, autoguiding and electronically cooled CCD cameras controlled by software!

daunting at first but I fast realised things were heeeeaps better
I wish you a speedy readjustment and look forward to seeing your steady progress back into you new imaging world

Mike
