Paulus17 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 My name is Paul,i am from Birmingham and am very new to this.I have had an interest in astronomy but have never taken it seriously,but after buying a Nikon D90 DSLR camera recently i took some star shots,after Googling for ages on how to do it, and have been bitten so i would like to learn more:)I would like to take images using a telescope with the camera attached but it seems a minefield as to what to get:confused:I have been looking round on the net and i kept coming across posts from this forum so decided to take the plunge and join in.

swamp thing Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hi PaulWelcome to the forum.I would have a good look around the imaging section, and ask those guys n gals lots of questions. I'm sure they'll put you on the right track.There are quite a few different types of imaging and all have different requirements.Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hi and welcome to the forum. If imaging is going to be your interest, than you might want to consider getting hold of Steve Richards' "Making Every Photon Count" (FLO £19.95) It will tell you all you need to know, like what kit to get and why you need it to take good consistent images. As well as being modestly priced, it could well save you money by helping you to avoid buying the wrong kit. Its very popular on the forum and certainly worth a look.Clear skies,James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
