Interduction - Hello from Connecticut (US) was created by SightsAbove
Hello to everyone,
I would like to thank everyone for the opportunity to join this forum. I find the
points of view well rounded and helpful. I started my astronomy hobby in February
2005 and have had a great deal of enjoyment from it. I use a Meade LXD75 SN-10 UHTC
with a piggyback Meade 80mm guide scope. My CCD equipment is Meade DSI, DSI pro,
Meade LPI and SBIG ST402ME (with internal filter wheel). The skies here in the
northeast (USA) have been pretty bad all spring and so far this summer. I look
forward to spending my spare time here and am sure I will learn a lot that I can
apply to my Deep Space imaging quest.

Hi Jim,
You have a nice setup there, I hope the imaging is working out well.
Many here like to dabble in abit of imaging so any input you might have is very welcome.

Welcome Jim! Glad you like the place.
I've the LXD55 10SN, so I'll be very interested to see what kinds of images you can get with your equipment. Good luck with it!
Cheers,
~Albert
