Without being critical of anyone JJ there are an enormous number of people on IIS that have a presumption that they are exceptional astro imagers. I find that tag fits about a dozen or so people who are very highly skilled. Some are developing and learning fast. Unfortunately some of the pics in that compendium, without naming anyone, don't belong in any almanac and look like they were taken by a 10 year old with a box brownie. The skill level on IIS is widely divergent. The good are very good. But IMO the Almanac developed almost into an "anything goes".

Just my thoughts. I aint into being fair to the underpriveleged or the underachievers, just about whats, right , wrong and common sense.

Cheers,
