Gear Guide

Well to start off with i have a Celestron C80 ED Scope with an EQ 5 Goto mount which i purchased some time ago from David Hinds in Leighton Buzzard along with various converters so as to be able to attach my Canon cameras to the scope so as to begin my attempts at photographing some of the wonders of the night sky above Milton Keynes.

I use Canon photographic equipment and have several DSLR cameras and a range of lenses from 17mm wide angle up to my favourite lens which is the EF 300mm F2.8 IS telephoto lens which is said to be one of if not the best lens that Canon has ever made.

Hopefully i will use not only the scope for imaging but also some of the shorter focal length lenses for some wide field imaging over the coming months and years to try and capture and share some of the wonders of the night sky that can still be observed from inner city gardens all across the UK.
