Hello from the US, kinda,
About two years ago I took a photo of the moon with my Nikon + 70-300mm zoom and started to get interested in the skies... then I discovered nebulae photography on Instagram and my interest just spiked right up. (Not a big fan of galaxies somehow though haha)
After moving to a new place where I could actually see the skies, so I started DSLR astrophotography last October. Bortle 5, but no street lamps to ruin the sight. I just upgraded to a monochrome camera last month as well.
Right now I'm absorbing technical knowledge and spending a ton of time on Photoshop learning editing, so bear with me for being a weight on the forum rather than a useful member to the community... I'll get there! Looking forward to be helpful at some point myself as well
I would love to shoot to the professional level-looking pictures by the end of the year. I haven't been that passionate about something in quite some time and it's not fading yet.
Cheers and wish you all clear skies!
From a French and Canadian... from the US.
