julianr Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hello Guys and Gals - I have been doing astrophotography for several years and have several telescopes and an observatory. Currently using my Orion optics 12 inch newtonian on a mesu 200 mount with a qsi 683ws mono. I post mainly in astrobin where my username is julianr. I see a few familiar names from another forum Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkulin Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Welcome Julian, Hope you enjoy it here. I used to live in Halifax going back to the mid to late 80's, I never looked up, but I bet you have some lovely skies going over to Sowerby and Further afield to Todmorden. I lived in Greetland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianr Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thanks for the welcome, yes my best skies are looking towards Sowerby Bridge my main issues here are humidity and haze Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 hi Julian welcome. I have the Orion 12" f4 newtonian, it's not my primary scope, it needs a bit of tlc, mainly a new focuser. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianr Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Yes I have the feathertouch 3 inch I think focuser and a Riccardi flattener, mine is at F3.8, good scope and it has been very well set up for me by a friend, haven't needed to tweak the collimation since Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
