Sorry to hijack your thread Scott, but after reading some of the other threads, I had to vent slightly.

That's exactly what I was trying to convey in my last post too.

There is lovely work being done across the whole spectrum of astrophotography, why should we be antagonistic towards each other because of which equipment we use.

I'd rather learn from others, not have ill feelings and misunderstandings towards each other.

Let's have our 'show downs', our 'competitions', lets compare images but lets do it in a civil and courteous manor and think about how the other person feels when they read our posts.

To me this seems a more adult way to act and at the end of the day it's all in fun, it's a hobby LOL.

Yes sorry to get off topic Scott, looking forward to some extraordinary images this year as our equipment and skill progress.
