Welcome, that widefield is awesome. Neowise?
Thank you, yes it is, Neowise. I got really lucky driving away from the coast to a darker site
when I got up to around 3,000 feet in some switchbacks and looking back towards the coast
a heavy fog had rolled in blanketing all the lights. I just pulled over , setup and took some shots.

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself.
I've always loved photography, nature and the night sky.
I moved to the west coast and spent quite a few years building up a cabinet business and didn't get out as much as I should have.
In 2007 when everything crashed I lost all my employees, almost lost the biz but luckily I was debt free so I managed to hang in there.
I got a used Jeep, built a solar powered camper and started camping and imaging the Milkyway with a Minolta 9xi camera.
Moved up to the Sony A7 series and an iOptron tracker and was just blown away by the detail and amount of useful data I could collect.
This excitement led to some research and purchasing an EQ6R Pro mount with an Askar Fro600, FMA 180 guide scope and a ZWO ASI mini guide camera.
I already know I'm way in over my head with this equipment with lots of learning to do and that's why I joined. I really want to learn how to do deep sky imaging.
I'm not the brightest light in the shed.

Been shooting the Milky Way for several years just using a tripod and 15-20 second exposures.
Then post processing in LW and stacking in PS.
Added an iOptron to the game a few weeks ago and I could just kick myself.
What a game changer! The detail and data acquired to work with is so much better.
I really can't wait to get back out with it.
