I just ran across a really neat site I thought I would share with you all Astromart. This is from the ESO large telescope PR site (check out the E-ELT section if you have incurable aperture fever . . . primary is 42 meters (half the size of a football pitch) in diameter and will out-resolve Hubble!! YOWSA!!!). 8O
The URL below is for a video library that tacks together images all the way from amateur telescopes to the most advanced earth-based sites in a Star Trek kind of video. This will really give you an idea of what we have in amateur compared with the big boys and how this really is the golden age of astro research.
