echidna Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hello everyone, Iniitially got the bug from viewing the Milky Way in the Aus outback with the sight of Saturn through my first telescope soon after sealing the deal!I've had a small 70mm refractor for a while but have recently added a 6" Mak with an intention to gradually learn the dark arts of astrophotography.Adapting the principal that free beer always tastes better, I'm going to cannabilise an xbox webcam to get me started for peanuts. This website has been fantastic on providing some good tips to get me started, thank you.I've never taken such an interest in the weather forecasts (!) and I'm looking forward to some clear skies in the near future!CheersEchidna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starman1969 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Welcome to you. One thing is you are very spoiled in the southern hemisphere as far as the night sky goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glowjet Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi Echidna and welcome to SGL, you sure will miss those lovely skies from the Aussie outback, not quite the same here in the UK I am afraid, but it is all we have John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
