Thanks Alex, only starting to see the good stuff coming from the modded 40D - each target reveals just a little more of itself!

True and true Rob!
It's that personal, creative element to imaging that keeps me coming back I suppose.
Like you, I've drifted in and out of Astronomy over the years too. Sold gear, regreted it etc!!
I will ponder the bass/imaging dilema in a zen-like state!
Really though I reckon it's "swamp fever" - Friday night was the first bit of clear night sky I've seen in weeks!!!!
All the best
Doug
