I can only speak for myself but I don't think I misunderstood anything you said. I think you were very clear and succinct in your reply. The only exception that I take is that Michael asked a simple question. I'll not only quote it I'll cut and paste it. "I'm curious if anyone (on these cloudy nights) could give a succinct explanation of what is interesting about astrophotography. I have not (and will not) been drawn in, and I'm curious about what interests others". I think those that have responded with comments about the beauty of it or the joy it brings have answered his question. They have even drawn attention to some of the downsides without approaching it from a what do you hate about astrophotography standpoint. Like I said, "speaking for myself". Steve
