Just comparing my first attempt at m42 with my most recent.....

I actually had the one from 2005 published in a hardback book by Anton Vamplew.....!!! (claim to fame) pretty crap really...... I remember Chris being really pissed because it was taken through his Skytravel 80 (which he still has) piggybacked on his LX90 in his backgarden using my EOS300D... times move on I guess... :-)

Wow, what a difference.

It is funny how you look back at what you thought was great & realise how bad it was, but then this imaging lark has moved on a pace!

Will your opinion, of the latest M42, change in a couple of years time?
