Wow that's a scary coincidence perhaps there is some dark force (no not that one) at work here

Okay, seriously, I haven't started my foray into astrophotography yet, mainly because the weather has stunted my normal visual astronomy growth rate. I should have been more advanced than I am if only I could go outside and observe 7 nights per week as is my want.

However, a very firm concept has developed in my brain (leave that one alone Alex), which states that "there seems to be a natural evolution to wanting to record for posterity, via an image, what one see's in the sky".

There is no law of course, and this is only my observation, but after several months on this forum, I can see that there is a massive astrophotography subset which yearns for self improvement and the continual desire for perfection.

There is a strength of purpose, no a unity of desire for excellence and a genuine goodwill which the like I have not seen before.

Therefore it seems inevitable that I too will follow the example of my peers and look towards astrophotography, the fact that I have the camera already is a head start

BUT....I still have so much to see, I have not begun to see all the myriad of fantastic scenes and distant astronomical pantomimes yet to be played in the night sky. There is much to see and so little time, and alas, there is the Demon clouds that haunt me
