RE: [APML] Astrophotography 2004 - Price Shock Horror

["Centaurus A" <centaurus_a@virgilio.it>]

Hi Chris,

I totally agree with you, you can't imagine how many wows I got from my
wide field pictures that are not even the half the beauty of one of
yours!
And now that I'm mastering using the diffusion filter to catch star
colours too, it is tarting to be a real fun!!
In the meanwhile, I'm saving money for a better mount with backlash
correction, PEC and an autoguide...:-))
I actually would like to get a little money from my pictures, only to
get back the money I spend for film and processing...but perhaps I'm not
still good enough for that...but this is another topic...

Nicola
