Taking a break from imaging

Astrophotography has been a fun thing to do, taking images that are so far away yet to be captured in images is a fascinating thing to do.
Sadly, the cost of imaging has bottled neck my personal expenses which i had tried to capped at $10,000 which will unlikely be possible.
My plans for the next few years will be so pack that i doubt i will have serious time to enjoy imaging, so... I sold my GM8, and on the way back to a visual observer.
Hopefully in a couple of years time, i can relive the pleasure again.

Trying out with CS5 on mac

Did some testing on the CS5 mac. The core is unmasked.

Cloudy Season

It has been about 2 months since I have taken a break from imaging in Astronomy.
The usual cloudy rainy season that occurs end of the year never fails to replenish our reservoir with water and cool weather for us to sleep in. haha

Now that i have sold off my DSLR, i am going to do some planetary observations as might not be getting a CCD so soon. But I am definately getting it ready by April and then, will resume on my monthly astro trips lol
