I know what you mean. It amazes me to see some of the images people have produced... galaxies and nebulae in incredible detail that only appear as a faint smudge at the eyepiece. Even my humble attempt above revealed even more detail as I nudged the gamma slider in the levels dialog in Photoshop. Stars came into view that were completely invisible in the original... it almost feels like cheating! But, oh, what a feeling!
(off to have a peek at that Tolkien site... ssshhh!)
