I've so far kept quite but just can't help myself:
1. I'll never unless I win Lotto afford an El Capitian or RCOS or an SBIG 11000 SXYZ top of the range camera
2. I may be able to afford a reasonbaly priced G11 and similarly priced CCD Cooled camera some time in the future
3. So far the problems with my images have been depth, noise and roundess of stars plus the inevitable tracking induced elogation errors etc
4. and lets not forget that the seeing conditions play an all too important part in the final image quality
However is saying this like others I have rec'd favourable responses from numerous people on a number of forums on the relative quality of my images (please don't take this as bragging cause I'm not)
So improving on the obvious faults in the long run should lead too far better images.
Whether you spend $2000 or $20000 on the optics if the other variables ain't right it ain't going to make an ounce of difference.
So for those who can't afford a RCOS, Star Instrumnet or Planewave then the GSO RC's offer an affordable alternative as far as I'm concerned.
