Look forward to seeing how you're going to improve on the shots you've already taken.

I passed on your suggestion to Leisa, but (for some reason) I don't think she's gonna go for it :-)
I read this forum daily, so I've been watching what you guys are up to but I needed to take a break from imaging for work reasons and also no planets are in prime position (the morning pre-dawn sky). The only target available is the moon, and it's been raining the last month or so anyway so even that has been out of reach...
As for improving...the fire-i camera I've been using has several serious problems that limit the quality of its images. It's a good camera for its price - AUS$150 - but nowhere the sort of level of a Lumenera or Point Grey camera. I'm seriously hoping to get images that'll challenge guys like Damian and his Amazing Barbados Images (tm) with new camera and new scope by November. I might even have the new camera in a couple of weeks or so, fingers crossed!
