Hiya fellow astrophotographers! I am very new to astrophotography (read 3 months old) so I don't think I can even call myself an amateur 
! It all started with photographing the comet and since then there have been no looking back. Have been reading a lot and watching YouTube videos which has helped me immensely, for surely the astrophotography community is amazingly helpful.
I have been into birdwatching and bird photography over a decade hence have been trying to repurpose my gear for AstroPhotography. I managed to buy a used Ioptron Skyguider Pro and some accessories (Dew Heater band, Right-angled Viewfinder, Astronomik CLS clip-in filter); and use them with my stock Canon 7D mark II & 400mm f/5.6L lens.
Here is an image I managed with the combo (messed up the framing
)
and also this one with the 50mm f/1.8 II
Looking forward to learn a lot more here :-)
- Rudy.
