rob0971 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 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.

rob0971 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 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!
