Jose Auger Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi to all. I have just signed in as a new member of the SL. I live in Puerto Rico (USA). I am a professor of graduate economics and corporate planning at the Graduate School of Planning of the University of Puerto Rico. Although I have knowledge of telescopes, they were for observation uses only. I have placed an order for a Skywatcher Esprit 120mm and an 80mm. In addition I have placed an order for a Celestron CGE Pro mount and a SBIG STT-8300M with filter wheel, and a SBIG STi Autoguiding kit. I have joined the local astrophotography club, and are just waiting for the equipment to arrive to start learning the art of astrophotography and take some pictures.

Sandancer10 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi Jose and a warm welcome to SGL. Sounds like you have some serious kit on order and I wish you well in your AP.I was in Puerto Rico some years ago and crossed the Arecibo Dish off my bucket list. It is a very impressive sight and was well worth the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Auger Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi to all.Thanks for the warm welcome. The telescopes are on their way. The mount is still on order as well as the camera and guider. I expect that all should be in by the first week of February. To be honest, I am a little nervous as the learning curve is steep at the start. But I am willing to learn and make mistakes (who has never made one). So, with all probability the first images are going to be duds and terrible. But I hope to be able to post some decent ones in the following months.
