Hello

Hi all, 

I was going to join in as a 'lurker' but @knobby has called my bluff 😉 

I'm relatively new to the hobby, always enjoyed stargazing, mostly using old set of binoculars. 
I've recently acquired Celestron 4SE planing to use is for some camera imaging - if i ever get chance to use it, it has been cloudy ever since i got it. I'm also started doing bit of astrophotograhpy using my DSLR on it's own.
 

Joined forums to learn from others and share experience. 
Joined the local group hoping that there might be some local activity and cooperation opportunities. 

Few images that I've manged to take so far.

Hi Michael, love the framing on the Neowise shot !

Essex section is very quiet but does get busier when it gets dark earlier ... hopefully.

Thank you @knobby 

Still learning, those are single shots, so far I'm unlucky with my stacked efforts, too much light pollution and my processing skills are rubbish. I'm using DSS and GIMP.

Hi, just catching up with new posts since I was last here.

Good work Michael, lovely Nowise and Jupiter/Saturn!
