Hi all,

My name is Rob & I have recently started on the slippery slope that is astrophotography. I am primarily a wildlife photographer & have lenses from 24 to 600 mm focal length. I started off using the 600 on a GOTO mount but now have invested in a telescope & all the parafinalia that goes with it & I keep learning about other gear that could come in handy. Slippery slope indeed! My primary interest is in dso's & a gallery of my work so far can be seen at

Its a steep learning curve but I think I am starting to get my head around it all.

Good afternoon to you and and welcome to SGL.

Nice gallery of images you have there. I am not into imaging yet myself, but only time will tell after seeing many other members images and galleries etc, it certainly is whetting my appetite.

Hello and welcome Rob :) nice set of images you have there, i also image with lenses (next year = scope!) So, what scope and mount did you go for?

Thanks mate,

I have a celestron cg5 GT with a skywatcher 120mm ed pro with matched focal reducer.

Many thanks all.

Okeydokey, cheers bud, but I am really down at the bottom of the learning curve. Its forums such as this one that has provided me with the knowledge I have now, along with Steve's excellent book, making every photon count, but I am still learning from my previous mistakes & learning how to get the best out of my kit. I am lucky to be able to afford relatively decent kit & consider myself a fast learner, but there's a long way to go. Its a challenging past time even for a seasoned photographer like myself!
