Beanix Rising

I got into night time photography in 2022 through aurora hunting for Aurora Australis from my home area - mid lattitude Australia. Spent so many nights with my camera aimed at the southern horizon waiting for the Lady to show. I had endless timelapses of the southern sky and delighted in watching as we spun past the Milky Way. Since then I've made 2 all sky cameras to watch the procession of stars across my home skies, and another portable allsky camera to take camping in remote locations.

I've also saved my pennies and am now imaging Deep Sky Objects through a telescope on an eq mount, and have recently purchased a Seestar s50 for when I get short gaps in the cloud - its so fast to set up.

I've always loved watching the night sky since I was a child, and have owned a telescope for visual observation for a decade or so. Photographing the skies has become my new passion. I have lots to learn but that just adds to the fun.
