I don't agree that you need the flash gear to get the photo of the week. Sure there are a lot of guys here who have all the gear and they take lots of excellent photos, but that's not the reason the photos are picked I'm sure.

One of my photos made POW because is was significantly different to what others were doing. It was taken with a camera on a basic tripod.

I imagine Mike (or whoever picks the POW) looks for something that is astro related that catches his eye - and so will catch the eye of others. Simple as that.

It won't matter who you are, or what camera you use, if you had a reasonable shot of a rare astro event and no one had one better... it'd be a great candidate for POW!
