Hello!

I've just joined the forum, after many months browsing and absorbing all the good advice on here.

I'm still a beginner, with about 6 months experience so far. I started with a Skywatcher Gti, DSLRs and camera lenses, and have now moved on to a small refractor and cooled astro camera. I think I'm getting the hang of it!

I've just taken delivery of a EQ6R Pro, so will be looking for telescope upgrade as well, so I'm sure I'll be making a "what telescope?" post in the near future!
