Why does everyone on here get all edgy when someone gives constructive criticism? I didn't see the post say "buy an SBIG and your problems will go away". At best, there are some examples that go to show what can be done. I think if everyone just took a step back, took on board some of the advice of one of the leading astrophotographers in the country, we would all learn a lot.

It wasn't about DSLR's and IR filters that was getting to me. That info is obvious. It's the constancy in other threads (and a little in this one) about how we 'need' the top gear. Read back thru them all if you've forgotten the theme in them (theme being the need for 'expensive gear'). Usually with many replies saying much of what I implied above. We often can't afford top gear and we are having fun with what we have for now.
It gets to me coz I tend to think of newbies coming in and reading about astrophotography. It would turn them off attempting it when they read that they probably need Paramounts, SBIG's etc to get an image worth posting. And now the colour balance has to be perfect (whatever perfect colour is).
Some are even worded and slanted to make me feel like I own crap equipment!
The information is probably correct, maybe just worded badly.
