Hi from the Netherlands

[Rob Smit]

Hi all,

 

I'm from The Netherlands.

Familiair with photography (started in 1988)

Few months ago started more serious with astrophotography.

So far I love it.

Only problem that keeps coming back is the weather.

Staying in a bortlle 4, most photos made from my backyard.

Using a DSLR (Nikon ff), EQ5 and some homemade diy helping things...

14mm f2.8 Samyang, 50mm f1.4 Nikon, 200mm f4 Nikon, 300mm f2.8 Nikon and some other stuff.

And 1 newtonian 130-900

Used a windows machine until last week... biggest problem I see is the software to use on a Mac.

two choices.. expensive or not available.

So the windows will stay (for the moment) using DSS, Registax and Autostakkert.

Using Adobe, ACDsee and StarStax on the iMac...

Hope to learn a lot...

Thank you.
The moon was made with 200mm " about 800 photos" and the stars with 50mm.
Combined of course...
