Many of us are. Just work with what you've got until better comes
along. And always be thankful for what you DO have.

Good thinking.

The North America Nebula is an excellent target with a 300mm lens, but
it is more of a Summer target. You can still catch M31, it will show
fairly well at 300mm.

Pretty good first (second) batch. The Orion 50mm shot is really good.
The others, wkile oK show some of the many hazards that we have to deal
with; guiding and vignetting. Anyway, keep shooting, it's the only way
up the curve.
