I do not log in very much on IIS any more. It's not because I don't love you guys!! but because there is so many other things keeping me very busy. But I had to log in and congratulate Anthony on what really is an unbelievable achievement. That someone can do this alone, with very modest equipment esp when you compare what the pros are using, the best of whom with ground-based equipment are getting lesser results (typically far lesser!) - this just blows me away. I'm awed and very inspired! This should be inspiration not only for (amateur) astronomers but anyone who has a dream of doing something grand, something that far outperforms the so-called pros or those with lots more $s to throw at the task.. We human beings are all very similar. We are all capable of great things yet most of us feel there must be someone smarter and/or better equipped. Often we are wrong in our assessment when thinking this way. Persist, insist, and just do it.
Thank you Anthony for your persistence, creativity and inspiration. I hope many follow your example whatever their field of endeavour.
