Hi, 

I am Oscar from Barcelona, Catalonia.

Glad to be part of this forum. This is my brand new mak 127 GOTO, I also bought a ZWO ASI 120MC. I'm eagerly waiting for clear skies to try and shoot some planetary pics. 

I hope to learn a lot from all of you and keep improving. 

Have a nice day!!


Well written Respectful

Thanks Antonio, 

I look forward to seeing images taken with your Mak. I also have a Mak that I am just now outfitting with a focuser and such. Most likely too late for Saturn this time around but with practice on the Moon and Solar imaging I should have a feel for the OTA by the next Saturn opposition.  NBD I think the dog comment was about my motorcycle from the profile pic. You are correct that it is a Harley Davidson but the slang term is Hog.  Enjoy  your Mak and I hope you have better skies that I am currently having. Too many clouds and smoke from the wild fires in the western US. 

Cheers,

Tim

Yes, the dog will protect the equipment!  Watch out for vibrations on the deck when taking pictures…..

I'm so sorry. If this is an  indicator of my level of Nerdness, I did not see the dog in the photo!  I could not see past the telescope. I am such a nerd!
