Hi   ,
    I started my astro adventure a couple of years ago, first doing a bit of planetary on my Celestron 8SE Scope and Goto mount. I loved this for what it was (and still intend to use the mount occasionally), capturing Saturn first (wow!!) and then Mars, and Jupiter towards the end of last year.
   Recently upgraded mount to an HEQ-6 PRO and what a world of difference - i can attempt DSO photos now - although i am very much learning at this stage and light pollution is hideous around here i am enjoying practicing.
