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.

The results possible for home astronomers now were not achievable until the 1990s by even the largest telescopes on Earth.
