Hey there from Ohio

#1

Post by farcrowd »

I was searching for some other info today and stumbled on this forum. I'm a member of two astronomy clubs, and have served as officers in both and regularly perform outreach. I have a background in graphic arts and printing, and photography has been a hobby of mine for years. I finally figured out a couple years ago what I really want to take photos of - SPACE! So I have taken that deep dive into astrophotography. I understand it well, but haven't had too many chances to get out and image myself. I've done a bit of everything, but none of it is spectacular yet.

Some people don't understand why I love astronomy so much, I cannot understand why they do not!
