I am a very keen astronomer that lives in the outskirts of Geelong. I have decent seeing conditions here and enjoying setting up my rig to take some images of nebula and deep sky objects. I currently use an unmodified Nikon and Canon cameras and hope to sometime soon move forward with using CCD cameras and narrowband. I am part of the Geelong Astronomy club and our website can be located here http://www.asog.org.au

Cheers Gerald

It’s also a great resource for researching targets, and what can be achieved with similar equipment.

Cheers,
