inaminit Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hello from SE Ohio, USA. Joined a few days ago when I was looking for info on Stellarium, and using it to connect to my Celestron Stargazer 6se. I'm a retired power plant operator who got re-bitten by the astronomy bug recently over the August eclipse. I've owned several telescopes over the years and loved astronomy since the sixties. Never really made a lot of time for it with that nine to five tied around my neck, but now I've got a lot of time for it. I started into photography in the nineties, and when Mars made it's close approach in the early aughts I tried a little astrophotography with a borrowed homemade ten inch reflector and some hastily purchased hardware. Bad results, very bad. But I went to the total eclipse with a little more practice and got some ok results, though a bit over exposed, mostly. Lessons learned, and I've been getting lots of good info from you guys. Thanks for the time you put in, it's much appreciated by this newb.
