Greetings from Germany,

This is Michael and I live 50 km south of Frankfurt, Germany – in between Darmstadt and Heidelberg.
I have been starting with astro-photography for 1,5 years. So, I am still in the (advanced) beginners’ status.

Please find some of my astro-photos here.: https://www.astrobin.com/users/Michael_Schmidt/

Some details on my equipment:
I own an Skywatcher Esprit 150 Apo, equipped with a Skywatcher 0,77 reducer (resulting in an effective focal length of 810mm @ F5,3), which I use for galaxies and smaller deep sky objects
For larger nebula I further own a Celestron RASA 8 (400 mm @ F1,9). I like the RASA very much, as it gives opportunity to take quite deep pictures in very short time (even under bortle class 6 skies).

Any feedback and hints on my astro-photos are highly welcome.

Best regards and CS
Michael

Welcome, Michael!

Excellent gallery. I have the ASI 2600 MC Pro as you, and I'm very, very happy with it.
