[Mark Axisa (Mark)]

Hi, my name is Mark and this is my first time posting on 'ice in space'.

My interest in astronomy started a few years back and since buying my first telescope, I can't get enough.

My current collection includes a Skywatcher 12 inch goto DOB, Televue 102 and heq5 pro goto mount,coronado PST,21,13, Ethos,16,9,3-6 Nagler. At the end of the year, my 18 inch SDM 666 DOB will be ready - a present to myself for my 30th.

Being a head chef and working in a hectic kitchen, I look forward to getting out of the city every month for a weekend in search for dark skies. My last trip west was a cracker and I was able to capture pictures of Omega Cent. and Orion Nebula.

I will post them soon - watch this space.
