i think some here have plenty ( and good luck to them)

it used to be DSLRs and a 10 inch scope on an EQ6

now mono megapixel (10 or more) are more common , there are 12, 14 inch RCOS , 180mm APO refractors, paramounts, adaptive optics etc etc.

i have no hope of buying that sort of gear..... and just quietly , i could spend that sort of money much better on something else,and i get reasonable images.... when the skies are friendly enough, and theres still plenty i havent imaged.


As for the average person, on an average wage , buying an average house, with an average size family..... theres not much left over for personal entertainment. Still we live in a good country, very few go hungry or uncomfortable so .......thats life
