I’ve been interested in Space & Astronomy since secondary school, & always wondered at the heavens above. Over the past years I’ve had a few basic telescopes picked up cheaply. These gave quite good results for the outlay but they are non-motorised & so last year I decided to invest in something better & bigger, so I got myself a Meade 8” LX200R GPS SCT off Ebay, & followed that with acquiring a good range of eyepieces & accessories. The first time I looked at the Moon through this scope, I was blown away by the clarity, & combined with its GOTO capabilities, this scope has re-kindled my interest in Astronomy & led me to join MKAS Autumn last year. I also very much enjoy photography & have been a keen amateur photographer for many years. Now with a large collection of digital cameras & other equipment, my challenge is to advance my astro-photography skills & hopefully achieve some respectable results, especially with planetary & the more demanding Deep Sky Objects.
