Description

I started Astrophotography last year in September. I engulfed myself into the hobby, using the pandemic time to dig into the tips and techniques all across the Internet.
I own a 150/750 from Skywatcher and a 294mm Camera. Not the most spectacular setup I guess but I am very satisfied with it for now as I mostly only explore DSOs.
My goal for now is to get the best out of it and push the poor conditions I am bathing into.

This was one of my firsts wow moments about shooting galaxies... I did not think I would like those as much as I do now but this combo made me want to look for further interesting objects of the sort. First with Messier I guess and then beyond?
