Great going for your first effort Adrian - congratulations. Once you start seeing more detail in your pics than you can every hope to see by eye in the 'scope you'll be hooked and sliding down the slippery expensive slope with the rest of us!

There's a lot of science and black magic in the processing side for astronomical imaging too - probably 50% effort in field getting great data to start with, then pretty much as long to pry out the fine detail. All part of the learning curve fun, and plenty of helpful people here to help.

Alex is right about 10 Chain if you're ever inclined to be Bris area. Good company and plenty of equipment diversity
