skaus84 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hey there,I am new to astronomy, and have some experience with black and white film photography and developing my own film.I was bought a telescope two christmases ago but have hardly used it. Took it camping once, and have had it out in the back yard a few times. Had a decent look at the moon, but thats about it.I have a Sky-watcher Newtonian model BKP13065EQ2. It came with a 2 X Barlow lens, Super 10 mm, Super 25 wide angle long eye relief lens and an EQ2 mount.I'm looking to learn more about astronomy in general, and I am wanting to get into astrophotography, but I will need to buy some extra kit for that.I'll take some time and read through the site. I do have some questions, but will try to make sure they haven't already been asked and answered else where.Thats all for now.Wayne (skaus84) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talitha Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi and welcome to SGL, Wayne. The Olympus OM-1n's a great camera, i still have mine. Never did the hyper-film though, just widefield tripod and piggybacked shots of things like the Aurora, comets, and Venus Pillars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
