Hello from Mallorca to all Astrobin members.
My name is Bernd Braatz and I have been interested in astronomy for about 50 years.
Now I am retired, have time, and have discovered my passion for astro photography.
I am still at the very beginning, and have only a Star Adventurer
tracking, and a system camera with multiple lenses.
Here with you I hope to learn a lot and to get many tips.
I wish everyone many clear nights
Bernd

Hallo Bernd.
Warm greetings from island to island, from novice to novice and from retired to retired  smile
Star Adventurer and  camera are a good start and your appetite for more will be wetted.
Last autumn, I started with a Vixen Polarie and a DSLR with a 28mm and 135mm lens.
Astrophotography is highly rewarding even (perhaps in particular) with small aperture scopes.
Hope you can find dark sites on the tourism haunted island.
Cheers
