Hi from Germany

[barbulo]

Hello community!

I'm from Spain but now living in Germany. I'm a beginner but with a lot of interest and excitement.

Since I hadn´t the chance to join a local amateur group, I´ve been reading articles and peeking in forums. But now I think it´s time to join this comunity.

My equipment is: SW Explorer 150p (150/750) with EQ3-2 mount ("gotorized"), ZWO ASI224, and plenty of clouds, rain and snow.

Many greetings and clear skies!

Hello, and welcome from a German stargazer (Dobsonaut; purely visual).

Where (approximately) do you live in Germany? I might you give some suggestions about amateur groups (atm sadly all inaccessible due to Covid-19)

Have a good time here in Germany, and enjoy our beautiful hobby/way of life!

Thank you Stephan. Vielen Danke callisto.

I live in Rheinland-Pfalz not far from Odenwald, but I don's speak a word of German ☹️

Moreover, as you mentioned, the current situation is not very prone to gatherings.

Welcome aboard SGL, good to have you with us. You've chosen well, this is probably the best and most friendly astro site on the net.

Thank you all!

My first contact with imaging here (these were taken last week with bad seeing, no tracking system, 10s and 5s captures and -1ºC in my yard).

Great margin of improvement. Lot of illusion though.
