I have been browsing on and off for a bit now and for some reason never joined the forum. Today is the day.
I just want to say hello to all. I have always had an interest in the stars, but really got hooked earlier this year attempting to photograph Neowise. I’ll attach my first attempt, single exposure, shot of the comet. I still have to process a stacked image sometime when I get free time.
I have meet many people on my outings on my Neowise hunt and keep in touch with a few. Really good people with all different types of backgrounds, but we have the same thing in common...shooting for the stars!
Ever since then, I have been shopping for a scope. Just when I think I have made a choice, I find another scope to get. Now, they are all sold out! Just gives me more time to get more confused I guess.
My choices are between a 8” Newt or SCT. (Budget up to 2500) something I can use for visual and/or astrophotography. Eventually I’ll get a Space Cat or Red Cat to run with my DSLR.
Anyways...clear skies!
