Hi all, my name is Zach. I am from the very northeastern corner of Colorado. I started imaging about 2 years ago with a DSLR, and have recently upgraded to a ATIK 383l+ mono CCD with LRGB and Narrowband filters. I now image with a CGEM DX, and started off with an Advanced VX mount. So any of the new pics ive posted is with the new gear and the older ones are with the old gear.

Glad to see a forum as there have definitely been times I wanted to ask questions here but had no place to do it.

Thanks, as a beginner in pixinsight I seem to always wonder how the heck some of it works, maybe there will be a Pixinsight tutorial section here! Thanks for the welcome and for this service.
