Yep, there is something nice about seeing the milky way float past, etc. It would be even better if there was a nice roaring fire alongside as well
Now that i'm finally moving from the setting up equipment mode of operation to actual imaging, I'll be able to spend more time lying back and just looking at the stars, my problem with that is lousy eyes, but still enjoyable when the weather's right.
Good luck with getting the focus setup, it makes a big difference.
Cheers,
