I like visual observing too and the challenges it produces but there's nothing as satisfying as being able to take a good happy snap of the object you're looking at and finding things your eyes could never hope to see...especially the colours.

Suzy, next time Jeanette, Paul, Ron and the guys have another shindig up there way, take a drive up to them, say hello and see if Jeanette has the GStar setup on one of her scopes. I think you'll be impressed with what you see and I think it'll convince you to get one yourself

That is, if Ron doesn't superglue your head to the eyepiece of one of his dobs to prevent you from becoming a "heathen" imager!!!
