Well said Les! You certainly have never put me off, in the same way that Hubble images have never put me off enjoying astrophotography at my own level (now don't get a big head - let's say Peter Ward's images rather than Hubble!
).
Personally, I enjoy everyone's observing reports, from your massive screeds Les, to tales of the simplest of nights out. What they do is not so much inspire, but show the rich diversity of personal experience out there, and a common passion for the night sky. My own reports are pretty basic, but so am I, LOL! Although in all honesty there is a little bit of secret hope in mine that maybe if I post what I can see through a cheap little scope then it might inspire a few bods suffering aperture envy to enjoy what they've got a little more. And the Universe is a wonderful thing at all scales!
Keep 'em coming - aperture envy certainly hasn't been my problem this winter, but clear sky envy has!!!
Cheers -
