Hello there.

[kyokugaisha]

I've been a long time devotee to all things astronomical but have spent most of my time doing space probe imaging due to my only scope being a pretty rubbish 3 inch newt from the 80s. I am, however looking forward to getting myself a SW Explorer 200P EQ5 with dual axis motors in the next couple of weeks and taking some webcam pics of my own to process rather than relying on cassini to do it for me!

I've started practicing collimation, webcam destruction and image recording to some success but expect daft questions and shoddy images before I get a grip of everything.
