madferritt Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hello from Manchester I spent a year " getting into" astronomy/photography and then life got in the way and my gear has been stuck in the spare room for the last two years. Hopefully this site will help reignite this fantastic hobby.. I wouldn't class myself as a newbie but I'm definitely a beginner. I've posted 3 pics I took in my back garden in Manchester as a guide to my competence / incompetence.. Looking forward to some clear skies. Regards.

Knight of Clear Skies Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Welcome to SGL. Nice pictures, what kit did you use to take them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madferritt Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi. They were taken using my first scope a skywatcher star travel 120 on the old style eq3-2 mount which I converted with a shoestring guide kit and the camera is a an eos 40d and an spc900.. I've since purchased a TS optics 90mm triplet and a Heq 5 pro which apart from playing with, I haven't really used yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davedownsouth Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Great photos; would love to be able to do something of this quality myself, but will stick to looking through the scope before I get brave enough to strap a camera onto it .
