synapse Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi all,I'm looking to get my first scope and a colleague recommended this site. I fancy taking pics of nebulae and planets, and he suggested this site for advice and the like, I'm gonna start by looking around and seeing what advice has been offered to others but thought I should say Hi first.

JamesM Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Synapse and welcome to the forum.I would certainly do some research regarding astrophotography because as great as some of these images are, the effort that goes into them is even greater. Can I suggest that if imaging is for you, that you get hold of a copy of Stevel Richards "Making Every Photon Count" (FLO £19.95). It a comprehensive guide through all the stages and levels of imaging and will certainly help you decide what level of imaging that you may wish to do and what will satisfy your expectations. Having this overview before you buy any kit might well in fact save you some money. I wouldn't want your first image of a black hole to be the one in your wallet!Clear skies in the meantime.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
