Hello all…

I have had telescopes for several years for visual, I just started this year with imaging..

I will be retiring to the Texas Hill country from the Houston area in a few years and decided to get into imaging while I can still somewhat afford it before retiring.. I'm looking forward to this as a retirement hobby as the skies for me will be bortle 2/3..

I just started learning processing with PixInsight, and I'm finally starting to get a bit more comfortable with it..
Looking forward to building my image collection, and learning from the images that everyone is posting here.

The learning curve for all of this is quite steep, but thoroughly enjoyable..

Cheers, Malcolm
