The pictures that you take are absolutely breathtaking. I was always under the impression that these could only be taken with the largest telescopes at special observatories. Where are you to get such a clear skies? Is it realistic for a serious amateur with a telescope to get shots even approaching these? Congratulations.

@Emilio Garcia: Thank you. Small APO scopes or a high quality lens (100mm - 300mm) can produce beautiful night photos if you know where to shot and have the ability to track across the sky. Try photographing a part of the milky way on a tripod for 3-5sec. (low F-Stop, high ISO) you might be surprised!
Amazing sky! The colors are gorgeous!
