Greetings from northern Italy!

[Fabio_Imm]

After 14 years of pause I finally dug out my LX200 classic and started using it again!
The suggestions in the Stargazers forums were extremely valuable for bringing it back to life: especially the AutoFiLX200 + SkySafari combo proved to be very satisfying.
I am a bad visual observer, on top of that the light pollution in my area doesn't help. I am mainly interested in high-res imaging of planets and the sun: again, thanks to the info found here I was able to move the first steps in the field of lucky imaging, just in time for Mars opposition.

I am a tinkerer by nature and already started experimenting and spending money in adapters and filters, but I believe that is a common issue ^_^.

Welcome to SGL Fabio, good to have you with us. 

That's a very fine image sir with lots of good detail and contrast.

Hope you continue to enjoy the site and contributing to the astronomy community.
