Hey Everyone! Glad to finally start an account here. I got my first telescope (Sky-Watcher ED80) and mount (NEQ6 Pro) in March and started my journey in astrophotography soon after. I started using a Canon 60D and have more recently bought a ASI1600MM Pro and shooting narrowband. I'd never used photoshop or any other photo processing software before so the learning curve has been very steep! Absolutely blown away with the images here and expect to learn a huge amount more as I continue down this road. Looking forward to improving my images and always welcome construction criticism as my aim is to keep improving and never stop learning.
Cheers
Rick

Welcome.  You may want to check out a neighbor of your, well not that close but you know what I mean.  In my opinion one of the best astrophotographers on this site.
