    What £10K's worth of telescope gets you

    Plus a lot expertise no doubt.

    Stunning photos of our solar system taken by astronomer Damian Peach in his back garden | Mail Online

    I do some modest astrophotography (or I will do when the dark cloudless nights happen up here), I might just invest in similar kit at some point. Astronomy was my degree and still have a keen interest.

      Well spotted re Patrick Moore.

      I once had a reflector (about 5 inches, forget now) and had considered getting a bigger one at one point, but never got around to it.
