Agreed, that book was mind blowing in the 80's I could never have imagined that going as deep as David was able to go using the UK Schmidt would be possible with amateur equipment, don't you love progress?
I am lucky enough to have a signed copy of "Colours of the Stars" David signed it back in 1986 and took a couple of my cold camera negs and hit'em with his then revolutionary techniques of unsharpmask and
amplification, it was indeed a great honour...like an international rock star taking a CD of your suburban bands recording and actually listening to it
