Hello all. My name is Tyler Allred and I am new to this list. I thought I would test the waters by posting a message to introduce myself to the group. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Rush Valley site, last Saturday, with Rich and several other hearty individuals. It was a good observing night, and it was a lot of fun too! I spent my entire night imaging the cone nebula, but was able to enjoy several looks through other nice scopes. I will be searching for excuses to go again soon. By way of background, I grew up in Cache Valley, in the town of Richmond, Utah. My father (Glenn Allred) worked for Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University, and was/is an avid amateur astronomer. I was lucky enough to have a roll-off roof observatory with a C-14 on a pier mount located in my back yard, when I was growing up. I didn't realize, until later, how spoiled I was as a youth! I have always loved astronomy. My present interest is primarily astrophotography, although I really enjoy visual observing as well. I also do lots of wildlife photography, but that is another matter for another forum. I use a Takahashi Sky90 for most of my astro-imaging work. The scope is mounted on a Losmandy G-11 with Gemini Level III Goto, which does a wonderful job, particularly with such a small scope. My camera is an SBIG ST2000XM with a CFW-8 filter wheel and Custom Scientific LRGB and Ha filters. I am still fairly new to the imaging game, and I have a lot to learn, but I really enjoy it and I am beginning to get some nice results. I am looking forward to getting to know many of you. Cheers, Tyler
