Hello from Saudi

Hi, my name is Richard, and I'm an expat living in Saudi.
I've been interested in Astrophotography for a couple of years now, and fairly rapidly moved from tripod MW to a Omegon LX3 through a Sky watcher SA 2i and currently I am enjoying using a Fornax Lightrack 2 tracker /
DSLR set up with an ASiAirPro.
Looking to move to a
GoTo mount next year (likely a Vixen SXD2)
I'm pretty spoilt for Astro here with generally cloudless skies and
Bortle 2 dark sky sites within 150 km or so. tempered somewhat by the heat and dust and sand and scorpions.
Looking forward to learning more about this fascinating rabbit hole here

Welcome on board Richard! I also observe from the desert here in SoCal. Can't beat the dark sky, but need to watch out for wild life.

Hi Richard,
Welcome aboard. No scorpions here so you don't have to worry where you put your feet. Unless you want to stand in a puddle.
