Bobby:

Glad to meet ya.  I really do consider myself lucky as far as I can tell.  I
have some pretty nice eyepieces and modest starter scopes, but I have not
gone out and bought a lot of scope or mount which I will have to replace
later.  Just tonight, Robert Reeves gave me another pointer on camera
bodies.  Not only do I love this list, but my wife does too, it is really
going to save us a lot of money in the future.

Looking forward to getting better acquainted,
Craig

Good advice Craig. It will require persistance and a desire to succeed. My
learning curve started in '97. I got some pics that first year but I can see
looking back that it took a couple of years to start getting really
excellent results.
