Re: [APML] My first picture

Eric,

    A great feeling eh?  I remember my first barndoor picture and the excitement of 
looking ahead to big mounts and telescopes.  But don't be in too much of a rush.  Like 
Stan said, try getting up to 15 min exposures to get a feel for the limit of your 
equipment.  You'll be trying to reach that equipment limit with every upgrade.

   I have a feeling that you will be doing this for a while.  Welcome aboard.
