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.
How to Photograph Comet Neowise
My new Youtube video has just gone live. It is much more live than I look during this production after getting up at 4.30am to chase barn owls and being out at 3am chasing this comet. Hopefully you can find a few useful tips to allow you to get your own images. I am hoping for some improved ones over the next few weeks before the comet fades away. As always like and subscribe if you haven't already! Thanks😉👍
