Hi there, we've just set off to Kelling Heath Starparty, and should be set up this afternoon on the usual pitches 123 & 124, Yellow Field. Please no more than 2 in the trading tent and wear masks, thank you, and we hope to see you there :)

Almost 2 years into my DSO photography journey and it's been nothing short of exciting. All these images (apart from bottom left, The Dumbbell) were taken with ...the Altair 183c fan cooled cmos camera, Altair Quad Band filter, Altair Lightwave 0.8 reducer/flattener, Skywatcher 72ED on a HEQ5 Pro mount. My guide set up is an Altair Starwave 50mm and 290c cmos camera. I'm really very pleased with the combination of gear that I use See more

Daddy is home! Well it has taken a long time to get here, perhaps I should have ordered direct, ho hum lesson learned. But I am very happy to add my new 269c to the collection. Time to start saving for the 26c now
