    Hi all, Newcomer signing in. I am an amateur astronomer / astrophotographer from the Portland OR area. Glad to be here and hope to make some new acquaintances in our "challenging" hobby :) - Pete Thompson

    Welcome @PeterT!
    I'm certain you will meet many new acquaintances within our new community. I would love to see some of your astrophotography work if you're willing to share.

    Well, I have a lot of mediocre photos with my 6" and 8" SCTs and an ED80. Here is a shot of M51 with my 6" SCT. Only 5-6 frames x 60" ea. Processed in PS
