I have, relatively, over 2,000 hours invested over 6 years to getting the level
I am at with shooting and processing Astro-photos. Tony H, Jerry and some of the
rest of you likely have over 20,000 hours or even more.....notice how I did not
even talk about the $ in equipment....

The space shuttle cost over a $billion each, but a simple man can land it (with
the autoflight turned off)....based solely on his acquired skill and
learning....it ain't the bucks....it's the buck rogers...
