What's YOUR astro THING

[ZeroID (Brent)]

Deep sky imaging is my main area of interest but ATM and solving problems associated with it is all part of the equation. I get a lot of satisfaction in building stuff to solve technical issues with imaging. And it saves me money , .. or wastes my time

Mind you, I dabble in all the other areas as well, weather and situation dependent.

Nowadays, automation.

that is a great bump!

i'd like to see what jjjnettie has to say now - not so 'new' to the hobby anymore

I like to dabble in a bit of photography and visual. its great to produce an image you're happy with but its also just as nice to see saturn at the eyepiece.

Visual, galaxies and planetary nebulae

I have gone back to 80 mm binos and just travel around

I'm quite interested in exoplanets, although i don't think there is much i can do with it.

I love looking at the planets, Jupiter and Saturn are just amazing but the bright stars and deep space objects just do my head in. The distance that light has traveled and the beauty, just incredible and here we are, on this tiny little spec of dust, rotating, just so that we can be slowly turned day to day to face these wonders. Most of the population doesn't even care, the sky is boring to them, it's tragic.

At the moment, imaging wide field nightscapes seems to have most of my attention.

I'm currently studying a bachelor of science with the major in astrophysics.

Still fairly new to imaging. I've found globular clusters and the planets/moon to be quite fun.

There should be another entry: "clear skies".

Cheers

Comets & supernovae !!!!!!!
Bless you sky with your surprises of visitors from woop woop and kaboom events .

I enjoyed reading Nettie's response just starting out. What a treasure.

That is one area I hope to explore further in the future. I await more aperture and a better mount first though.

where's the binocular option
