Hi All,

My name is Thomas and I've posted only a few images so far. I love this hobby as it can be very rewarding… I also have a YouTube channel where I film my journey and lesson's i've learned along the way. My latest video can be found at the below link. It is my experience imaging a galaxies during this spring. I've imaged NGC 2903, M101, M81 and M82 and show my results and experience getting those images. If you want, please subscribe to my channel!

We do most of the imaging on weekends in Cibolo, but I spend most of the week on the northwest side of San Antonio.

Hi everyone!

I'm John. I live near Washington DC. I've been doing astrophotography for a little over a year. I just took the plunge into the world of cooled dedicated astrophotography cameras. But if these clouds will ever get out of here, I could actually use my ASI1600MM-Pro finally. I've had it for a few weeks and haven't had one clear night. There was one where it was clear all day up until first dark, so I packed up and went to bed (had to be up for work at 6 AM), but as soon as I was about to go to sleep, it cleared up! Just my luck. It looks like it'll be clear tonight, Wednesday, AND Friday this week. If that forecast holds up, on Friday, I may even venture out of the brightly lit suburban neighborhood and go out to one of the observing parks not too far from here.

Clear skies!
