Hi,

I'm Andy, I live in Cairns and am looking to start using a tracker for deeper astro photography having used WA lenses on my dslr before for shots of the MW.

I shoot Nikon, and moved to Cairns from the UK in 2007.

My wife is a MH Nurse, one of our kids now lives in Melbourne, 1 in Surfers and one still at home (18). I'm kinda retired here at the mo (I'm only 49) so have plenty of time to get out bush, I shoot macro insects already (Tropical North Queensland ain't a bad place for them) and want to take more advantage of the dark skies easily accessible up here.
I have a month's camping coming up down on the Gold Coast Hinterland in June visiting our daughter too so that could also be good time for astro.

I have posted a question in the beginners equipment forum regarding what tracker and what equipment I want to use on it.


Andy
