Imaging: What's the Point?

Hi all,

Just two comments here:

One: I've never been to Mt Pinos but it sounds like an interesting place so maybe we all should celebrate the diversity of the Armature Astro population and either practice a bit more tolerance or find a more secluded place to observe/image in peace (or find a corner spot at Mt Pinos and bring some large black light blocking screens to segregate one's self from other people's light).

Two: I put that last sentence in as a gentile reminder this is the Equipment forum (I am a moderator). There are other places to bitch and moan about Astro bad behavior in public (How about "No holds barred"?) wink

Thanks for your tolerant reading.
