Hi All,
I am very new to the astro game as I am more a landscape and portrait sort of photographer (with the exception ofthe usual milky way shots) but my neighbour was using his telescope a little while a go and I popped over to check the sky out and wow it was amazing, it instantly flicked a switch that has made me read so much about all sorts of astronomy related info and it just gets more and more exciting. Unfortunately I dont have any real telescope to get much from other than checking out the moon, but I was lucky enough to connect up my camera to my neighbours telescope and get some of Orion Nebula, and again it is amazing what you can see out there (I was going to post the photo, but after seeing so many amazing shots, I think I will wait until my skills are alot better) I am hoping to start simple in the new year and get myself a motorized mount and just use my camera for the short term and slowly progress from there.

I do apologise in advance if I ask silly questions or statements, but I will try my best not to lol

Thanks guys, I look forward to one day being able to contribute successfully to the forum 😊

Cheers
Troy
