Intro

Thought I'd just introduce myself.

I'm pretty interested in astrophotography after I did a lot of deep sky observing about 15 years ago. But at that time digital was just prohibitively expensive. Now it seems a lot more in reach.

So I picked up a DSLR, plus I've made a barn door mount driven by an arduino controlled stepper motor. But my first experiments suggest deep sky stuff may be a bit beyond this simple setup. So I'm going to try to stay satisfied with wide field for now. I would like to upgrade to something a bit better, especially if I can dig up my old scope, but sneaking an EQ6 mount past the wife may be a little difficult

Anyway, I look forward to learning more and hopefully will produce some nice pictures at some point.

Marty
