mechanoid Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hi all. Another coming across from from the Shed after the sad news about Dion. Thanks to Carole for the link, otherwise I might have drifted away. I'm mainly an astrophotographer, and am lucky enough to have my own observatory. My earliest photo was of the moon, taken with the school telescope using a homemade camera and 6 inch glass plates ! How things have changed ... I have my own workshop with machine tools and a 3D printer, and enjoy making parts for my hobby, such as a dome drive mechanism, custom lens / camera mountings and Bahtinov masks. Being retired means longer to recover from those late night observing sessions. Telescopes - Skywatcher 200mm f4 Newtonian, Samyang 135mm f2.8 lens Cameras - Atik One 6.0 mono and QHY10 OSC Mount - Vixen GPDX and Skysensor 2000PC controller Guidance - Skywatcher ST80, Lodestar x2 and PHD2 I look forward to sharing all things astro with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
