Hi,

Where I live:  in a suburban area in the south of England
Where I image from:  my back garden which is small and surrounded by neighbours trees.  I am lucky, however, that they don't leave their lights on too late.
My kit:  a Skywatcher 200PDS on an HEQ5 Pro which my wife bought me for a birthday a few years ago
My experience:  6 months using an old Sony NEX5N camera connected to the scope, then I broke my ankle.  2 years of the scope sitting in storage since then and now just started again, but now using ASI1600MM camera and just getting into narrowband.  Only 3 hours of clear imaging skies since I restarted.

Looking forwards to getting back into this stuff;  just need some clear skies
