Hi all from Scotland, most of my astro buddies are on here, so I thought I'd take the plunge and say hello. I am just getting into the imaging thing with varied results from my C8NGT and canon 450dslr. So be kind when I try posting my results lol. I have also just got into guiding but find the cam I'm using, sadly lacking in sensitivity, so I'm trying to raise cash to upgrade. Open to suggestions for a mid range guide cam. I am also a member of a few other forums (not sure if i can name them here) and dabbled into a wee bit of astro poetry one evening when the clouds were having there evil ways lol, which I posted on them so here was the result, hope you enjoy and I look forward to chatting with some like minded friends.

DARK SKIES

Jupiter's shining in the late summer sky,

An almost full Moon, emerges close by,

Vega glows blue in the darkness above,

The great Double Cluster is one we all love.

Andromeda's mistiness teases the eye,

A meteor darts across darkening skies,

The clouds fade away giving me hope,

It looks like it's time to set up the scope.

Warm jacket and boots, red torch at the ready,

Check your kit's cold, and tripod is steady,

With batteries charged, eyepieces looked out,

"Turn the damn lights off" I hear someone shout.

With these little thoughts, your hobby will grow,

And empty your pockets of any spare dough,

Endless late nights, and stinging red eyes,

Stargazers never tire of watching Dark Skies.

Clear skies

David

Nice to hear from you David and welcome, I'm new here too, been reading the forum a few weeks but this is my first time writing. I thought I would read your intro before writing my own. I look forward to seeing some of your imaging.

(and maybe reading more poetry)
