Indeed, that's why I'm looking to start my own 'informal' gathering of astrophotographers from the Nth side of Canberra.
I am a loyal member of the Canberra Astronomical Society, but I would like to meet / image more often, informally and a-politically.
I'm also interested in 'tangible help' to help new and seasoned astrophotographers alike. Less talking, and more hands on doing. I have been inspired by young, keen people like Brendan Mitchell in WA... who would have thought that someone so far away could be so helpful... and so patient... I just wish that he lived on the east coast of Australia
.
I'm sure that there are many imagers out there in the Canberra suburbs, but it's a solitary existence, and they tend to operate better in quite isolation. This doesn't help new starters like moi
Anywho...
Great info there T. Appreciated.
A hand up rather than a hand out. Better in the long run.
Logie.
