I believe Darren's post was of a nice image of two galaxies. He made no claim as to scientific content. After all, this is (was) an observing list. Give the guy a break. He's working up the steep learning curve of obtaining astro images. Many derive pleasure and satisfaction from that alone. Others get their kicks from peering through the eyepiece - or looking at those pictures.
