Thank you! Bit nervous about posting them next to your super images, but hope to show what can be done with a cheap little set-up.

Been thinking about upgrading, a dob is out of the question as I only have small area for viewing as I am low down in a garden. Thought about a bridge camera for portability but I'm leaning towards getting a skywatcher az4 mount as I am only using a cheap £30 tripod. Been capturing 4k video with the galaxy S7 and grabbing any decent stills from the videos. Doing some processing with lightroom but I'm not sure if I should leave them as they are.looking forward to seeing the an225.

So if you don't have enough space, you can buy some SCT scope - 5" or 6" will be ok. I had SCT 6" Celestron with AZ 4 which was really nice equipment. Now I have small 5" as my traveler scope.

This is comparision of my Sky Watcher 10" dobsonian vs Celestron 5" SCT :D

That's good to know, got myself a mak102 in perfect condition from a well known auction site for a ridiculously low price, an adapter for my phone and a cheap tripod. Have been looking at the az4 as possible upgrade as I feel this is the area I could make the most improvements on. Where you happy with az4? Also looking at az5.
