Thanks Darryl,
You are right, one of the reasons I post some of my images is because, even with the limited equipment that I have, ie no Laptop or Prime focus camera, (just a digital camera on a plastic afocal adapter), I think that these are quite good and am looking for some comments on whether they are as good as I can expect from what I have.
I have posted a number of envious responses to some member's astonishing shots of planets and nebulae showing details that I dont think I can ever aspire to without some additional serious monetary investment, but one reason I am sticking at it is because it is so satisfying to get some positive feedback on shots that were bloody hard to get and took a lot of time to set up.
Also, taking photos that show a bit of detail is one way I can show my family things I look at as they are a bit non-plussed when it comes to stargazing and a good photo can record some of the sights I experience out in the cold while they watch Family Guy or Desperate Housewives in the warm house!
The main reason I post some "confidence lacking" emotions in my posts is because the actual picture I see throught the eyepiece is much better than the one captured in the digital camera and therefore I am a bit confused as to what it is I might be doing wrong and that is where the dissatisfaction comes in.
Thanks for the encouragement, I appreciate the comments and it helps maintain the momentum and interest in something that I find quite astounding everytime I go out the backyard and have a look.
Cheers
Chris
