A year with IIS

Hi everyone,

It has been a year since I joined the IIS forum and made my first post (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=69308)

I started as a novice at astrophotography with a Dob (a Canon 550D, a 12" Skywatcher, and teleconverters) and with a small increase in equipment (600D and 5x Powermate) this led to more and more improved images. I still feel like a novice though!

I just want to give a big thankyou for everyone's comments, tips, suggestions and encouragement in the forums, mainly in the Solar System Imaging forum. . It has helped my skills and kept up my enthusiasm for astronomy I hope I can return the same over the next year!

Cheers,

Tom

Hi Tom

Your enthusiasm on the Forum is quite infectious and was one of the contributing factors in helping rouse me from the astro doldrums to record the ISS transit at Cleveland, where we met for the first time.

Thanks for the inspirational posts and your determination to attempt quite difficult projects with what is relatively unsophisticated equipment compared to the mega dollar top end stuff.

Cheers

Dennis
