Hello dear astronomers and astrophotographers,

My name is Guney, 29years and im from Turkish origin but living in the Netherlands.
Since a month or maybe two, I am doing astrophotography.
I already had a dream about becoming an astronaut before when I was a little child. But since my brain just cant do math, I had to give that up(its a warzone in there). I own a restaurant in Belgium Oostende. Besides astrophotography, I am a boring guy. I watch movies and series and dream about getting paid to do that one day

Recently (few days ago) I've got myself a bresser 152/760 scope and a meade lxd75 goto mount. I am not sure but I think this is the same mount as the Bresser Exos 2 since I've read that bresser and meade sort of "merged".
I have got this second hand.
All I need is an autoguider actually and clear skies. Because till now I havent been able to look through the scope once.

Besides this scope I have skywatcher 80/400 scope with an Orion finderscope wich I bought earlier.
For taking pictures I am using a (not yet modified) Canon 1100D DSLR with the DSLR CONTROLLER APP.

For my moon pictures I am using a Nikon P900 because it has a 2000mm lens built in. Very spy'ish' camera if you ask me.

I've just found this website yesterday and actually just looked at it today and what it is all about and I am seriously impressed with the search engine and speechless about the images that I have seen.

So im looking forward for being here and learning from all of you.
Especially when it comes to editing in Photoshop I think because that is really not my strongest part. Haha

Thank you for reading.
