A big 'wave' to you all!!

[swag72]

Hi,

I'm Sara and just joined this forum. I currently have a ETX70 telescope that I have used to do a bit of stargazing. I would like to get into it mostly for photography purposes and I am looking into buying another more appropriate scope for my needs.

I look forward to meeting you all and learning loads as I'm a bit lost with alot of the jargon!!

Can I apologise in advance for the dumb questions I will ask from time to time. Have just purchased the 'making every photon count' book, so hope that will help too!!

Yoo hoo! (Waves right back!)

Nice to meet you!

There's no dumb questions, astronomy and astrophotography have steep learning curves and the more questions you ask the quicker you will digest it.

Btw welcome to SGL

I'm a novice myself, and every question i've asked has been very well received and answered.

All the best, and enjoy the book. I certainly have been!

Welcome. Dont worry about dumb questions - and doing dumb things - that how we all learn! The day when someone thinks they know it all... is the day before they realise that they hadnt understood the question.
