Hi Nick. Welcome aboard.

Kia ora. Welcome aboard. I lived in Windy Welly for a bit a while back. King Country is home now. 👍

Welcome to SGL.

What equipment got you into astronomy?

For me it was Sputnik. I was 5. My first telescope was a 20x50 Carton refractor with a desk tripod. I used to perch it on a table outside and look at the moon. This was in 1969, the year I saw my first comet - Tago-Sato-Kosaka (1969g). -
Cheers. I completely missed that.

Awesome. Anyone what the blue nebula at the bottom of the frame is?

Welcome aboard. Gotta love a 12" so long as it is not too big/heavy to manage by yourself. 😀

Cheers. Haven't been to the caves yet as only been here just over a year. Monteith's is OK but I prefer Orchard Theives Cider myself. 😀

Hi Sam, Welcome aboard. Mike.

Got an iOptron SkyGuider Pro from Santa but ever since then, it has either been cloudy or downright raining. All I need now is a decent tripod and clear skies.

This a 15 image stack in DSS. It shows Comet Lemmon, 47 Tuc, and the Small Magellanic Cloud. It also shows severe streaking generated in DSS for which I can find no cure.
