Hello all 

I’m stuart and from Gloucester in the uk. 

I have owned my scope William Optic ZS 81 about 3 months but only had a couple of chances to use recently due to constant clouds. Have had a couple of good nights imaging the heart nebula and Andromeda but now trying to get my head round the behemoth which is pixinsight.

Really happy to be here and cant wait to hopefully producing my own images soon. 

My gear is 

William Optic ZS 81
sky watcher EQ6 r pro
ZWO asi 294mc
Eagle 4

please follow and i apologise in advance for the possible lots of what might seem stupid questions.

Hi Stuart,

welcome to Astrobin. You found the best astrophoto  community on this planet.

No need for apologising as there are no stupid questions smile

PI is indeed a beast and it takes time to understand, I'm more than a year into it and still do only understand a fraction.
On the other side this is great as you can learn so much in this hobby it is basically limitless.
