Hello my name is Chaitanya and I am new here with a handful of images already shared!
It took me about a year to find astrobin community after I started astrophotography and I am so glad I did!
So much to learn from so many great photographers! Every imaging session seems to be a new learning!

It has been just about 2 years since I started with a Star Adventurer 2i, a DSLR and a tripod, nothing fancy! I had no idea of what monochrome imaging was, how star trackers work, zero knowledge of telescopes and their types etc. I was and currently am just an aspiring photographer, awe-inspired with the universe and its beauty. I always loved everything about space. There was a time 5-6 years ago when I made recordings and cinematic videos of planets and galaxies using Space Engine. But that time is long gone and I don't know how or when I found that astrophotography, would be the one thing, that people always say you should find for yourself, passion.

I can't think of not imaging for the rest of my life, and also probably start with visual in future.

But I am extremely happy to see how the community helps each other and its not about becoming famous, instead more about becoming knowledgeable and loving in what we do.

I thank you, thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Welcome!  Looks like you're doing quite well already, the Redcat and 294MM makes a great combo.

This is the first time I have had a conversation or even an acknowledgment on my Astro gear and I’m happy to know I made the right choices, although I’m aware there’s a lot of room for improvement. But this should suffice me for quite some time, until I get my own place with a good backyard. Right now I’m imaging in a 3-4 hour window where after that time my view is blocked, apartment patio’s ceiling comes in the way! 

Nice to meet you guys, and I must say that both of you have excellent work on your profiles!
