Hi all,

Decided to join the community this week to see what Astrobin is all about! So far really impressed with what I see will definitely bite the bullet and upgrade soon! Like quite a lot of people it required a lockdown to fall into this hobby but I am glad I did the joy of taking pictures of our night sky is so much fun and release from the stresses of our days! My limited comprehension is still blown away every time I take an image at night and see all those points of light knowing anyone of those could harbour planets and or life and someone could be taking a picture of our sun at the same time! Total mind blown!

Anyway thanks for having me here I look forward to growing amongst you all

and release from the stresses of our days!

Nowadays this hobby gives a real scape valve, or a pressure relief one, from the quite weird "reality" we are going through. 

By the way, your images are awesome, so cheers ! and CS !
