Hello from Canberra

[Lacaille]

I've enjoyed browsing the images on this site and thought I should actually participate! Just getting back into the hobby after many years and enjoying the new tools available to the amateur from laptops, webcams etc that weren't around in the 60s.

Welcome Lacaille, I'm sure you'll find SGL to be as helpful and enjoyable as we all do.

All the best,

Aaron

[Lacaille]

Thanks Aaron - that is a serious setup you have there! is the seeing generally OK from Sydney or do you tend to travel inland?

Hi and welcome to SGL - Looks like we'll have another imager on board then? As a relative newbie to imaging, I can imagine that things were very much more difficult many years ago.

Look forward to seeing you around

Hi there and welcome to SGL

[Lacaille]

Thanks all for the warm welcome!  Yes, the skies are good over Canberra, but I am hoping this year to make a road trip with the telescope (Celestron 8SE) to the edge of the desert  -  Coonabarabran/ Siding Springs where the professionals have some big optical telescopes -  on the assumption that the seeing will be even better.

Hi & Welcome to SGL. Lucky you with the clear skies. That is a nice scope you have.

[Astroade]

Hi from the U.K I am guessing you get more clear sky's than we do in the North of England.

Welcome to the forum.
