Hello from Casper, Wyoming. I am new to Astrobin but looking forward to learning lots from the more experienced photographers here. I just got my new Sky Watcher EQ6-R Pro mount and tripod and am anxiously awainting a clear night and my ac adaptor which should be arriving sometime this week. My scope is a 152mm, f/9 ritchey-chretien scope from Orion. I have had this for several years now but haven't been able to fully utilize it because my old mount is barely adequate. I also have my first telescope my wife bought be 20 years ago… a humble 4.5" newtonian made by Bushnell which I need to get the mirror polished and recoated.

Where next with my AP gear?
I would like to tap into the wisdom and experience of my AB friends again. For the past two years, I have been imaging with a largely "settled" suite of rigs; a Nikon 200mm f/2 camera lens, a TS Hypergraph8 at f/3.2 and a GSO RC8 at f/8. Wi...
