This group is dedicated to our imagers associated with the Milwaukee Astronomical Society (www.milwaukeeastro.org), a 90-year-old club in Milwaukee, WI, USA. Despite the frequent cloudy skies, we're dedicated to astrophotography as our hobby in between other fun observing projects and outreach, so we hope this space serves as a way to showcase your work and latest projects and get constructive feedback and tips too.

If you're new to the club, make sure you say hi here, follow each other and just have fun. Don't forget to join our Slack channel and our monthly Imagers Group Zoom calls (videos here). If you're not a part of that, but you're a member, let us know in the comments here and we'll get you involved.

This is our welcome thread, so if you're new take a little time to introduce yourself here and let us know what you're using to image the stars, where you like to image, and a little bit more about your background and focus!
