Hello

#1

Post by nystire »


New to the forum.
Up until now I've been using a Canon 1100D and lenses. Recently I moved to a ASI533MC, 242mm telescope from SkyWatcher and an iOptron GEM28.
Still mostly flailing around trying to get things working again after the move. Currently living in a bortle 8 zone, so between the need for filters and the short times available to gather photons, things are a bit interesting.
iOptron GEM28, ASI533MC, ZWO dual filter, ZWO IR filter, Sky-Watcher EvoGuide 50ED, ZSI120MM for guiding with the ZWO guidescope
