Thanks so much for the kind responses guys, I know it's not really the forum for such things but since 90%+ or so of my time since joining IIS in 2006, has been to the Deep Sky imaging section of the forum, it seems to be a place close to my heart at such a time and , well...I dunno and perhaps strangely, it just felt right
Mods please forgive me, I pray it will not happen again
