Hi Ingo
It is always nice when IIS friends comment on our images; even nicer when the comments are glowing!
But, here is the crunch; if a lack of comments makes our enjoyment of astronomy and being here less happy, then maybe its time for a re-think, or a recalibration of our expectations?
I find that most of my contentment comes from setting up the gear, struggling with it, grabbing a few shots and then processing them, so if I were the only person to see them, I would be mostly content.
Having said all of that, it is human, and nice to be recognised by one’s peers, to be listened to. But I try to keep it all in perspective when there is a resounding silence, and will simply try again the next time.
Silence is really impersonal. Mostly, I suspect that people, like me, are just plain busy or don’t have the knowledge or experience to comment.
You also may be at a slight disadvantage because most of us here (in Oz) hook up with each other locally, so we are physical friends as well as IIS friends.
However, in my book, you are always welcome and I do hope you continue to visit and bring with you your unique character and culture; we will certainly be the richer for it.
Cheers
Dennis
PS – actually most of my contentment comes from buying new astro goodies if the truth be known.
