Joe, I'm not sure how much astrophotography experience you have, but when I was starting-out, I practiced extensively on the moon. Made learning MUCH easier. I practiced guiding on random stars from the back yard and actually had a rudimentary technique before I ever got under dark skies. Saved me a lot of frustration in the dark. (Biggest frustration was pulling off the "hat trick" all alone with a large scope!) If you are past this stage, disregard my advice and have fun! Chuck --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:
Cyn, This is truly kind of you -- also brilliant that you can do this. I look forward to posting something, maybe after the next new moon, when I plan to try deep space photography with my scope. Again, many thanks. -- Joe
