Good to know Once I get a car, would love to meet-up and exchange thoughts over a drink.

Thank you, Simon. Where in the South East are you?

Brilliant photos Francis. Would love to see pictures of your rig.

Hi All, I am not entirely new to Astronomy/Astrophotography/Telescope Making, but after almost 2 years sabbatical I am slowly inching (and itching) my way back to Astrophotography. Just curious if any member is in Ashford as this is where I live and would love to meet up with fellow Astrophotographers.

Valid points Adam and Ian. That's what my mind is playing badminton with. Large sensor or better sensor? I will be getting the Sky-Watcher 150P Quattro for now and later perhaps an RC6 or 72ED whichever I decide to as my second scope. Too bad I am in Ashford and you guys up North I have followed Ian on instagram. You have good photos.

Hi All, ZWO ASI 071 MC PRO seems to have the USB3 and DDR 256MB buffer. Are there any users here who are facing amp glow currently with this camera? I am planning for either 533MC or 071MC, but leaning towards 071 because of APSC.

Hi Everyone, Having owned a HEQ5-PRO for 12 years, I am now thinking between CEM26 or GEM28 mounts. However, several of my friends have reported pointing issues, especially to targets in the South like M16. What are your opinions about this? anyone use it recently?

Hi Steve, This is by far the most detailed report I have seen/read. I am in Ashford, Kent and planning to buy a new AP Setup which is lightweight. I have been eyeballing the GEM28 for a couple of days. I used to have a HEQ5-PRO etc etc, all heavy stuff. I have read reports from India that the GEM28 has pointing issues, especially with Southern targets. Have you ever faced anything similar?

Just something I came up with. "Namesake" is just that I became a member, but haven't participated in any activities

yes, I am a namesake member (who soon hopes to become telescope officer )

Hi, apparently the locals go to the Kent Astronomy Society, they have an obsy somewhere closer to Dover. Uni doesnt really afford me the time. Hope to make up now in the summer.

Hi, yes I am, at the very end of High Street

Thank You Peter

Thank You Gordon

Hi Everyone, I should've said hello in September itself when I moved here (Canterbury) from Bangalore, India. I would love to meet up with fellow astrophotographers and checkout their "equipment" (pun intended). I love looking at different telescopes and mounts and learning from like minded folk.
