It's making sense to this lad. Slowly. I guess, even if I only get 10 second subs due to poor polar alignment, I should be able to take *lots* of subs, darks, flats etc and still get some half decent images. The amount of data is really then going to be up to me, and how prepared I am to get the necessary amount of subs. I'd love 5 min subs, but alas, without a permanent observatory, it's not really feasible imho. Especially since due to either poor weather, or just simply being too tired, my scope time is limited. I love Astronomy, and I really want to do more imaging, hence asking these "silly" questions.
Thanks Barry. It's a pity I never got to sit down and talk to you about it all when I lived with Warren & Ange.
