Good Afternoon Everyone
Hello my name is Jose Duddy and I am a retired Professional Singer/Entertainer. I spent the better part of 25 years singing and performing all over New England. At the present time my wife and I live in Tarpon Springs Florida. Back in late May this year I was diagnosed with stage 4 Renal Cell carcinoma. Terminal Cancer. I still golf twice a week however I needed something more help cope with my cancer. So I went out a bought a new Celestron 4SE NextStar telescope with computerized go-to mount/Celestron Wifi dongle. Nice case of Polssl lens, and a lens wifi camera. I am a Rookie Astrophotography fan looking to gain lots of knowledge about Astrophotography.
Thanks In Advance for any help and for having me on your forum.
Jose

Re: Good Afternoon Everyone
Welcome to the forums Jose.
The 4SE is a fun Maksutov telescope and I hope you have fun imaging with it.

Re: Good Afternoon Everyone
Thank you for the nice comment. I will be testing your theory tonight depending on the sky. Once I get a couple more posts I'll be able to post a link to what I've done so far

Welcome aboard, Jose! You've picked a great group to join. I find that looking at the stars helps give me perspective, so to speak, about my place in the universe and I applaud your new hobby.
