Eastern Ontario, Canada
Active in astronomy since 1992 ...
First serious scope was a Meade LX10, current is (two) Celestron Ultima C8s, Orion ED80 and a William Optics GT71
Have been imaging since 2001...
Started with Webcams then to dedicated CCD (man were the sensors small back then), then to larger sensor CCD and recently to CMOS
Imaging - SHO narrowband and LRGB, also do some EAA when the mozzies are out
