Hello everyone!
I'm hoping I'm in the right place. I just wanted to reach out to the other imagers in the club.
My name is Bill. I was a member of DVAA way back in the days of the Schuylkill Valley Nature Center. I never left the hobby, but life had its changes.
I've since rejoined, and am looking forward to an active membership in my retirement.
I started along the imaging path almost 2 years ago after upgrading and acquiring more gear along the way.
I'm very well set up for EAA, and of course went further into the photography.
I really want to be included, or at least informed on any get togethers at the dark sky sites. I enjoy company as opposed to working alone. It will also allow me to learn more, or share along the way. Currently learning PixInsight.
FWIW, here is a main equipment list as well as a couple of support items should they be needed.
8" Meade SCT (2080) from 1988
Celestron 150 XLT newt 2021
AVX mount 2019
SkyWatcher EQ6 R Pro 2022
ZWO Asi385 MC 2021
AsiAirPro (modded) 2021 Everything set up for wifi
Lots of accessories for both scopes
Next purchase: Asi 533 MC, ZWO autofocus, then autoguiding set up.
Support gear: full size Ford Van, Honda 3Kw camping generator (true sine wave), and very quiet. Lots of camping gear, and support electronics.
Hope to hear from you!
