Hey all!

I'm Meshal from Saudi Arabia.

The country here has many low light polluted areas where you can see the Milky Way with naked eye. This has tempted me to purchase a telescope and mount (both are on their way to be delivered). Although I have little experience in astrophotography, I'v been watching many YouTubes on astrophotography recently.

Looking forward to my first astro-photo, which I will definitely share with you all whatever the results will be.

Hi Meshal,

Welcome to astrobin. This is a really helpful and kind forum.

I stayed in Al Jubail for 11/2 years. Once you get away from the light polluted coast it gets really dark.

Have a good start!
