Hello everyone, I'm Christopher Corkill from Italy (although I am American). I'll be out here for a few more years before going back home. In the past year I've done a lot of expensive upgrades to my telescope which has greatly helped my hobby. I can take pretty good data, up to 20 and 30 minute exposures however my processing skills are really terrible. I hope to learn many new things here in the Astrobin community.  I look forward to uploading some good images this winter and seeing your images.

Welcome Chris. I will be looking for your images and hopefully learn a thing or two from you. Maybe you will have better skies over there, the east coast this summer has been horrible. It is so bad I had to cancel my trip to Charleston, SC for the Total Eclipse but I will have better skies here in Virginia with the 84.6% partial Eclipse. I am looking forward to winter here.  Until then Clear Skies. smile

Hi Chris and welcome in Italy, probably one of the worse country for deepsky imaging (light pollution is a big problem). If you'll come in Venice…we could eat pizza together :-)

Hello all from Kansas City.  Just loaded my 1st ten pictures to the site and am eager to continue marveling at all the great work out there on this site.  I have a lot to learn and this is a great looking place to do so.
