Hi all..New member here
G'day all! I just joined this forum & thought I would introduce myself briefly.

I've been into astronomy since 12 yrs. old [now 43] I built my 1st. telescope age 14, an 8" reflector on EQ mount. I've just finished building a 12.5" reflector on another EQ mount. Everything is built by me except the optics/focuser/finder. The optics are by Parks in California.

Also purchased a refractor recently...a 6" achro F8 on an EQ5/dual axis drives.

I've taken up astrophotography & have a few pics to share with you all.. As well as ideas & advise.

Thanks for reading!

Asimov

G'day Asimov. Great to see another South Aussie. And you're just down the road a bit. I guess the weather down your way is similar to here at the moment. I wouldn't mind the bloody clouds so much if it would rain a bit.
