I'm sure that is a factor, Gill.

I just compared my photo against those on the BBC website and I’m pleased with how favourable the comparison is 😀. I still want a better shot though.

Yes! Big time.

Good idea, Sam. I checked the price for a ND filter to fit my 105mm diameter camera lens - £219! It sounds as if I'd be better off trying to hook up my camera to hubby's telescope and buying a £15 telescope ND filter instead.
There's a local astronomy group near us, although when I say 'near', nowhere in Lincolnshire is actually near anywhere else. It's all relative. Anyway, I might visit them and see what they have to say.
Just for the record, I am most definitely not getting into astronomy - I just want to take pretty pictures.
