Hello. I am from Ohio and have been away from astronomy for about 25 years. The last telescope I had was a Celestron C4.5 Firstscope. Before that was a refractor I had as a kid for many years from a Johnson Smith catalog (anyone remember those) and was a no name brand. My experience is beginner level and coming back to this after so long has been an eye opener. A reality shock actually. It seems I knew nothing before, lol.
My scope is a Dob, an Apertura AD8, which I have, but as it is a Christmas present from my wife, Christmas day is when I take possession of it. I have been allowed to have it out for brief periods, learning purposes, but nothing more. It is now packed away and ready for the big day.
Anyway... Hello to everyone!

I am also new here. Just found this website after hearing about someone finding a new nebula (This post)
I’m 26, been stargazing since I was a young kid. Recently got into astrophotography about a year or so ago with the SeeStar S50. Love that thing. Plan on upgrading to a proper rig at some point soon.

Switch to a different camera brand - but if, to which one?
Everything began with a Canon 1000d, i borrowed from a colleague to capture Polar Lights in Norway early 2013. This gave the last impulse to buy an own camera, a Canon 5d MKii. Having this camera, it didnt take long and i took my first Orion, and bou...

Hi everyone!
I have been a beginner/casual astronomer for several years now and just yesterday got my telescope back in service. I had some questions about my collimation so a asked them here this morning. I couldn't believe that I had answers to my questions wit...
