I love your approach and as I said in a reply elsewhere... it is folk like you that are heros in this game.
Many who come here and never post must take heart from your efforts and be motivated by the inspiration you provide.
There is another thread calling for one to ost their best photo... I can not find my "best"photo but it was one I took with a little 2 meg camera held at the EP of my 150ar with a red filter in place... not much by most foks standards but it was the best because it got me going... in that instant I realised one could get something if one only had a go.

Your photos are the best posted here in my view because you must by example show to newcomers that if they have a go with what they have at their disposal they can get a result they will be proud of.

best wishes and keep up your great work.

Gee, thanks for those kind words Alex

I hope I do insire some newcomers to give it a go. You really don't need that much to get some decent images of the sky (a couple of planks of wood hinged together, a simple camera, some desire and a lot of patience).

I'm just happy that I now have a setup that I can have a go at some galaxies with. It will hopefully keep me satisfied until that day far into the future when I am able to purchase an EQ6 mount.

Exciting times are ahead. Stay tuned for some DSO work over the coming months.
