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.

Hi Mark.

Cheers,

Ian

Hi Mark,

Nice to meet you the other night. Welcome to the forum.

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