Well I'm here to help others spend money, the only problem is I spend a lot of my money too. And yes I am looking to upgrade my capabilities and get a big equatorial with an autoguiding setup, so in other words spend about 12 to 15 the cost of the O-GPS1. A lot of practice, learning, and failure went into that shot, also a lot of credit goes to the legend of a lens the SMC A * 400mm f/2.8 ED [IF]. My first shots with astrotracer and in astrophotography in general are rather embarrassing but they can be found over in the astro group. However with effort one can get a shot like that.
