Hi everyone,
I live in Canberra and have had a bit of a bug taking photos of the night skies. I had limited myself to a fixed tripod with a Pentax K10 DSLR and a 18 - 200mm sigma lens to make sure it was not just a phase.
When established that it wasn't, I purchased a telescope and mount that I was assured would 1. Allow me to take images with my camera and 2. track stars as these were being purchased almost exclusively for astrophotography.
I then established that what I was sold would do neither 1 or 2, I purchased some additional equipment including a HEQ5 mount.
I am looking for someone who lives in Canberra who would be prepared to show me the ins and outs of balancing the scope properly, getting polar alignment and basically having their brains picked.
I am not looking for freebies. I am prepared to pay people for their time. I run a business and have no issues charging for my time and experience when someone requires it so I have no issues doing the same.
Pretty much available whenever and am prepared to travel (ACT region).
Thanks
John Hynes
