Hi from Edinburgh

[Skuber]

I'd just like to say Hello

I used to have a 4" Tal-1 Newtonian, but I lived on the 4th floor in the centre of Edinburgh for about 10 years, so I never managed to get out of town to use the scope in clear skies.

Now I've moved right to the edge of the city, I've picked up myself a 6" Celestron SCT from one of your members (thanks Gary!) on a CG-5GT mount to take a look.

I've enjoyed my observations when I've had the chance, but I'd really like to try astrophotography, so I'm accumulating equipment to allow me to do this.

I apologies in advance for any dumb astrophotography questions I might ask...

[Moon Lander]

Don't apologise for dumb questions Skuber, it just saves us having to ask them . As I want to try my hand at astrophotography in the not too distant future, I'll make sure I keep following your thread.

Hi Skuber and a warm welcome from me to the forum.

Clear skies.

Hi and welcome to the group, Skuber. Best of luck with your imaging.

Welcome Skuber, I live in Edinburgh as well, in Gilmerton (where are you?). Ask as many questions as you like!

BTW since I wont be too far away, if you want to come over sometime and see what kit etc I have then I am sure we can arrange something.

Hi Scuber,

I'm also in Edinburgh (Leith), all the best with your AP. I've just taken my first steps down that route and love it!

[krs01]

hello skuber and welcome from me too!

[Skuber]

Thank you for the nice welcome guys

I stay over at Fairmilehead - almost at the foot of the dry ski slope.

It's much better than the town centre for light pollution, but I swear there's clouds that just hang over my house!

[blinky]

Not too far from me at all the Skuber - you should check out scottishastronomers.com we meet up in winter for a few informal observing/imaging sessions.
