Hello Astrophotographers!

I am joining you from southern New Hampshire. This site was a very exciting discovery. I am looking forward to seeing your work, sharing mine, and improving on my technique, approach, and results.

I am currently set up with a Canon Rebel T5i DSLR for DSOs and a ZWO ASI120MC-S for planetary imaging on an 8" reflector. Looking to soon switch to a dedicated CCD or CMOS deep sky camera, but for now I have been pleased with the results from my DSLR. Still working on noise reduction though during both acquisition and processing.

I've been an astronomer/astrophotographer for just a couple years now but there is no going back. I am hooked!

Clear Skies!

Welcome, Chris! I just moved to the New England area and find myself up in New Hampshire pretty often taking advantage of the dark skies. I'm always down to shoot with other AP'ers, so let me know if you want to connect sometime! I'm 26 and shoot with a ZWO1600, Esprit 100 refractor, and Quattro 8 newtonian on my CEM60.
