Hi to the forum

Hi All,

I was a member of the UK Astro forum many years ago and I gave up my telescope and changed hobbies after accidentally destroying my imaging camera, now I'd like to start again and have joined this forum for inspiration and to know what equipment I should be looking to get to start again.  

Thanks

Welcome. I hope you have lots of fun while ‘rebooting’. 🙂

Hello there. How did you destroy your camera? 😳

@ BugdozerI Sorry for the late reply, I converted it to infrared removing the filter, and it worked for some months then I got an error, I took it apart again and when putting it back together, I damaged a delicate connector for the sensor.  It's still worth doing but I'd buy an old second-hand DSLR to do it to next time.

Ah right! I have a converted DSLR for my infrared uses. I wouldn't dare try and convert anything myself though!
