I agree. However, lets distinguish between photographic art and science. Both have their place. One advertises the other. Many more have seen D. Malin's wonderfull images than the hours of images that provided cutting edge astronomical science.

It's horses for courses. To throw in an old building trade proverb "one does the best job with the available tools and time".

If its better than your previous attemp then its the best one.
