7 year break - back in the sun light!
Wow, after a 7+ year break from this forum, I'm posting here again. I must have a solar driven cycle ... I think I dropped off after the changes to the hosting site; so glad my username (and password) still worked.
Hoping to contribute to the group once more and post some pictures when the Sun shines down on England. I recognise some of the usual suspects and many more new contributors. Technology has certainly moved since I was using my ASI120MM and 3" Polarex.
I still have my DS SM-60 and now also a CaK b1800. Hoping to make the most of those as activity increases!
I warmed up over the weekend with a new-to-me ASI178MM, a 94mm f/7 refractor and 1.5x and 2.25x barlows for the close-ups:
