Astrophotography - A new old Project!

Its been almost ten years since I sold my astrophotography kit. At the time I was using an extremely heavy mount and telescope combination that didn't fit in with my desire to travel light. Instead I concentrated on my wildlife and landscape photography. With the new lightweight travel mounts on the market I decided now was a great time to give one of these small versatile mounts a go. And so begins the journey of re-learning everything I thought I knew and perhaps even getting over my phobia of the hours spent processing in front of that computer screen. This week I introduce you to some of the kit I am going to be using before getting on with the full setup of the Skywatcher Star Adventurer in the coming weeks.
