G'day all! I just joined this forum & thought I would introduce myself briefly.

I've been into astronomy since 12 yrs. old [now 43] I built my 1st. telescope age 14, an 8" reflector on EQ mount. I've just finished building a 12.5" reflector on another EQ mount. Everything is built by me except the optics/focuser/finder. The optics are by Parks in California.

Also purchased a refractor recently...a 6" achro F8 on an EQ5/dual axis drives.

I've taken up astrophotography & have a few pics to share with you all.. As well as ideas & advise.

Thanks for reading!
