Post by: MarkS on Oct 16, 2007, 20:32:34

Hi, my name is Mark.

Some of you may have seen me at the last meeting (Sept 27) or at Paul's imaging night on 13 Oct.

I'm the proud owner of a Celestron 130 SLT telescope which my wife bought me last Christmas. It's a 5 inch Newtonian on a Goto alt-az mount. I'm particularly interested in astrophotography and I regularly attach a digital SLR to it. Amazingly it works, as long as I take lots of short exposures and then de-rotate & stack them

Hoping to become a fully fledged OAS member shortly.

Mark

Hi Mark.

let me know when you've joined proper, and I can sort out your access here.

Cheers,

Ian

Hi Mark. Glad you got to Paul's imaging night. Written any good image-processing stuff recently?

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I did manage to take a picture at Paul's on Saturday:
