Before you all go crook at me, this comment is not designed to offend, just my opinion FWIW.

That's OK Dennis, I think we can all totally understand where you are coming from in that regard and most would agree with you to some extent.

Looking through the telescope or through the eyes of the camera are two different fields, but I still very much appreciate the tremendous skill and effort of the capture of light and detail in an image.

Thats not to discredit artists, whos have just as much skills composing an image with inks and dyes on a canvas.

Both are forms of very skilled art IMHO and I for one, enjoy both. Can't wait to have another crack tonight during this thunderstorm.
