Hi. New Gold Coast member.

[mg (Mitchell)]

I'm a new member from the GC and thought I'd say hi and thanks for running such a great forum.


I've been peering through a cheap 114mm newtonian for a while, but have now taken steps towards better gear and astrophotography. Bought a 102mm doublet refractor from the classifieds (thanks Clint) to get me started and am awaiting arrival of my AZ-EQ6.


I see autoguiding in my near future and I'm sure I'll be seeking advice, so thanks in advance!

I started a thread in the Beginner's astrophotography forum with some DSLR widefield efforts, so advice/critique would be welcome.
Cheers,

Mitch.

Good stuff, you're hooked

to the madhouse, watch out for the black hole of astrophotography,.... ahh too late.

Advice and critique is free around here, ask away.

Hi Mitchell & Rob- and a big to you guys!
I'm strictly a visual observer so I will be of no help to you .
The dark side hasn't won the battle with me.

I like the look of my face on this emoticon: "haiiiiiiii- ya!"
