Some years ago after ending up with numerous rolls of Kodak Ektachrome in the garbage can, I realised astro photography was for David Malin and visual observing was for me. The modern technology is starting to make me re think because with digital data capture and processing some truly amazing results can be achieved with modest equipment. In times past, it was better to leave it to the experts like David Malin who also had the benefit of using the taxpayers money to fund equipment to do the amazing stuff, but I am beginning to think about "having a go". I still think my 1st images are a couple of years off however, the eyes have a few more photons to soak up before I start to share them with the camera/computer.
