But it is the challenge and the gratification you get when getting those shots yourself! Like you said - playing a guitar to make music......one day they may become a rockstar........doing astronomy may one day get you a comet or asteroid or SN named after you!!!!

The majority of comets, asteroids, supernovae, etc. are actually made by amateurs. Collectively amateurs have more eyes on the sky than the professionals do. Most of the above now carry amateur's names

(Just wondering.)
For me, understanding the concepts behind how the universe works, is my passion.
Images just aren't satisfying enough for me … actually, at times, the images just frustrate me if I can't understand what they're showing.
Sometimes, I feel alone in this …
Cheers
PS: Please don't misunderstand me …. I fully appreciate and respect everything everyone does when it comes to visual and imaging. There are some very deep feelings we all share, I think. Others also share the similar deep feelings .. about other issues. That's what makes us human ..
