I intend to document my journey back into amateur astronomy. I don't know if anyone else will find anything of use in my ramblings, but who knows.
Several years ago I owned a Celestron C4.5 reflector on an equatorial mount and greatly enjoyed using it in my parent's back yard. It was a great little scope, but over time other interests took over and eventually I decided to sell it. Fast forward a few years and my son, 8 at the time, became a science fanatic. His main interest at the time was astronomy. His interest has sparked my own interest as well. He received a Celestron PowerSeeker 70AZ refractor as a gift and we have had a lot of fun using it together.
We also picked up a DSLR a while ago, so I have begun playing around with astrophotography. I can't spend a lot on equipment for a tracking mount, so I'm looking into a DIY solution. More to come on that.
My journey into amateur astronomy. Ride along!
