So here in this blog I will attempt to document my path and try and keep myself on track.
My main interest is astrophotography so I will start with the equipment I have or intend to obtain , with comments
Book: Make Every Photon Count: Bought on recommendation of folks in this forum , excellent read and will need to be read more times once my rig is complete. NEQ6 Pro Mount : Found one at a low price which needs some repair work and will be installing a belt drive mod into it. Decided to go right for a decently large mount so I'm not wishing in 6 months time I had done this in the first place. Camera: Canon D450 will be in my hands at the end of the month and I will be doing the IR modification on it. Still undecided on whether or not to do a cooling mod on it as well. Telescope: undecided upon right now and currently using my eyes to identify my way around the sky. Guide scope and guide scope camera: undecided . CAT5 fed USB hub system. EQMod PHD Backyard EOS : this will be setup once I have all the hardware. Assorted stuff : A lot of this I will 3D print I'm sure there will be some things that will be handy , will find out what these when they are needed Looking forward to fun and interesting times will update as we go .
