Just to say hi really ,

Been reading posts in the background for the past couple of weeks to be honest , trying to learn as much as I can . Anyway thought it was about time I said hello .

Im have had an interest in this fine sport for a number of years but never really done anything about it till now haha . Finally taken the plunge and bought myself a celestron C8 sgt with cg5 mount , last night was the first time I have tried it , that said ive only had it a week . Any way I quite fancy a bit of astro photography and seeing as im rather into photography anyway its a great way to bring the too hobbies together .

Any gonna leave it there as I tend to go on .

Like the title says, just wanted to say hello ..
