I did notice the use of bad language but I decided to let it pass in view of the technical excellence of the results,

I waited to view these on the PC monitor, what a pleasure, amazing shots.
Although the method to take and process is way beyond my method of a single shot of the milky way, it is obviously worthwhile and breathtaking, the deep space requiring it. Thank you so much for sharing. Well done, kudos.

I know what you mean!
When a master of their art presents images like these it does make me think "Why would I bother, I can jut look at these!"

Thank you guys.... but come on.... a master.... I am nowhere near. I am still learning. I'll be honest though, I have certain pieces of kit that help me massively to be able to do it. Without them they would be nowhere near as good!

OK. So you have the fancy kit. You also have to know what to do with it and how to deal with the results. You do. We like it!
