Hey all.,
I'm so new to all of this.
I'm Brendan and i'm 56 by the way.... just a baby, born Sept 8 1952.
I am the proud owner of a Celestron 6SE and an Advanced mount and a Nikon D90 Camera with the appropriate body mount for the scope. I also have a NexImage 'camera'
I have a Toshiba laptop that is state of the art and running Starry Night. I have setup the laptop to control the telemetry of the scope.
I want to get into astral photography and i really need a kick to get going.... problem is i'm new to all of this, i have most of the gear, and i'm like a schoolkid wondering which balloon to pop first.
I'm waiting on a GPS unit specifically for the go-to mount to arrive from the States.
I also have a SkyScout and a SkyScout Connect, and the weather has been rotten over the last four weeks.
I think that I hold the record for the only person to break the droubt by purchasing a telescope and causing it to rain.
.
I will be glad to be able to offer any help whereever possible, once i get over this itch to get going.
I hope you dont think this next bit is a 'commercial' for myself...
I'm an IT consultant specialising in networks for small business, as well as building pc's, faultfinding, virus removal, domain hosting, email provision etc at a reasonable price.
So, I hope this gives you an idea as to what makes me 'tick'
Cheers,
Brendan
