Thanks Mike. I'm just waiting for some excellent seeing here, & then I might be satisfied. I agree though, it's a great time to be an imager!

Yep seeing is the only real determinative now. Good seeing is hard to find in most place.

Mike I am with you, this is the best time to be an imager. I remember well the 1980's and the disasters I had with film. Very frustrating.

Good seeing seems to be had in most areas eventually, but the words 'eventually' & 'fleeting' can really test a mans patience so I can see why it pays to diversify ones imaging & not just stick to one area of expertise.

Wow – a stunning series there John, these are really excellent Saturn images.

Thanks for all the examples and explanations underlying each technique/equipment combo – really useful stuff.

Cheers

Dennis

Pick your battles is my motto now. I found I get more out of waiting and filling in time doing other projects than trying to hit it each night I go out. I also made the decision to image directly from Clayton rather than home. The seeing at home is influenced by the hills and I just wonder what I missed out on during 2008 if I had been imaging down there then.

So diversifying your imaging interests makes for more lovely images to create. Just like you are doing Solar now, also consider other forms too John.
