Hi to all. I like to use my handle Gamaholjad as it generally represents the first names of my family. Ive always wanted to look at the skies through a telescope, and after covid hit decided to take the plunge into astrophotography in 2020.I started by buying probably the hardest telescope to learn Celestron sct8 edge8 HD. Well I was hooked when my first proper image of orion just simply blew me away. I soon found dismantling my setup everynight was digging into my viewing time, so promptly in May 2021 built my own observatory with a slide off roof, with a warm room. I now watch the forecast and head straight outside if it's clear. I am blessed in Hampshire with good clear skies due to a small island of the coast protecting where I live. I absolutely love the images that are posted and it inspires me to look for new targets. The wealth of knowledge through the community always amazes me and no question big or daft will always be answered. In 2022 I will building a double observatory and will be more than happy to entertain the usage of this with fellow observers who live in or around Hampshire. Feel free to drop a message via pm. Clear skies folks.

Hi from the UK.
Hi, I live in Morecambe and image under bortle 5 skies. I love the hobby and wish clear skies were more frequent on the very changable north west coast. I've had an account for a while but I've only uploaded a few images as off yet, hopefully...
