mike1984 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi,I thought I should introduce myself. I am Mike, a 27 year old back yard astronomer from Cambridgeshire. I have had skywatcher 130 newtonian for about 2 years now and have spent many a night visiting planets, nebulae and galaxies through the eyepiece! I am really looking foreward to hearing about other peoples experiences of the night sky. I have no preference about what I look at up there and am equally captivated by planets and deep sky objects. I am starting my journey into astrophotography now and plan to start right at the grass roots and really learn how to do this properly. I would love to take some great pics but also I really just want to enjoy looking through the eyepiece and thinking "thats amazing" I hope that here I can learn from the basics up and enjoy this journey!Thanks for having me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
