Take a look at this Saturn shot

When I made the following statement in my reply to this thread: "I am an
amateur astronomer. . .," it was given to allude to the fact that personal
enjoyment of the discipline can be fully realized without becoming a
quasi-professional astro photographer. In my opinion, the persuit of
"incredible" images like the one cited in the original post are certainly
very nice but not necessary to the enjoyment of the hobby. Anybody who
points their scope to the sky and smiles at what they see or image (with
ANY level of success) should be justly proud of themselves.

We can all sing. Can we all sing well enough to put our voice on tour or
record? No. . .but I do occasionally sing in the shower and sometimes it
sounds great to me.
