popping in to say hello

[astroeddie]

Guys,

Just enrolled to become a member of this forum.
My name is Eddie and live in Hartlepool. 43 y.o. My main hobby is astronomy, both visual and astrophotography. For this I use a Canon 350D coupled to my 278mm F/10 SCT. Yep, one very big lens.
For other photography I have a Nikon D80 with a 18 - 135mm lens.
i travel around the world with my job, merchant seaman, so will post lots of photographs from time to time.

Anyway, hello all.

Cheers Eddie

Hi Eddie,
Welcome to TP.
There are a few people on here (not sure how many) who are into astrophotography and we all marvel at their pics.

Cheers guys.

I'm down the pit of the engine room. 14 weeks on/ 14 weeks off.

I have lots of astro pics. But wont bog down this forum with them. I need to start a new picture trail website so I can upload pix I've taken since Xmas.
Just learning the photography lark so please be gentle when C&C ing my efforts....
