New Here!

Post by astroimagery »

Just discovered this forum. It looks very good and highly informative so I am looking to contribute.

I am interested in astrophotography and have written a lot about my journey from beginner to intermediate astrophotographer.

I hope to help where I can, and will be sure to engage as many as I can when here.

Dark skies everyone!
