Hello everyone,

Krishnan from Troy, Michigan here.  I've been around for about a year in this platform but never thought of introducing myself. 

Anyways, I got started in this  amazing, frustrating (Oh! those days where I had nightmares of polar aligning) hobby  over the covid era. Oh, and did I mention the price tags that make my wallet weep? Thanks, universe, for giving me an excuse to tell my wife, "Honey, it's an investment in stargazing happiness smile

My current imaging set up is the new ASKAR V (60/80mm) modular setup and 2600MC pro. My backyard is officially a Bortle Zone 7, but with all those malls and buildings reaching for the skies, I suspect it might secretly be plotting to welcome me to the Bortle Elite Club (aka Bortle 8/9)

Now, before I sign off and float back into the astral abyss, let me just give a stellar shoutout to this community. This community has been an amazing resources for me to learn and grow . I look forward to seeing all the images, learn & meeting fellow enthusiasts. &  hopefully one day in the future I'll be to make a contribution in return.Here's to clear skies, limited clouds, and unlimited enthusiasm. Buckle up, space amigos, 'cause Krishnan is ready for launch smileKeep twinkling, Krishnan
Respectful Engaging
