davaaris Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I hope this is the right place to introduce myself. I am Andy and I live in Fife. I have been a keen photographer for many years now, but I am new to astronomy. I have just bought a telescope and I am having a few teething problems with connecting my camera to it. Other than that I am raring to go if only this cloud would go away. A minor point, but I am in a wheelchair so most if not all of my stargazing will be done from my back garden. I look forward to chatting with and learning from you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Steele Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi Andy, most people stargaze when at home so glad your not letting your disability get in your way of the heavens. Hopefully fife is a little darker than light polluted southern England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 HI Andy and welcome to the forum. You might want to consider getting yourself some further reading to help with your imaging and I would strongly recommend a book by Steve Richards, "Making Every Photon Count". It's very comprehensive yet straightforward to read with lots of guidance on how to improve your images - in my view an essential read for those wanting to develop the "Dark Art". :grin:Clear skies and enjoy the forum.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davaaris Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks again everyone. I feel a little inferior when I read about all the expensive gear you all have. I'll have to wait a bit until I can afford a more expensive telescope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
