My Bio
Human begin, a father, and lover, in that order. I'm also a secular humanist, an atheist, a blogger (freethinkingfordummies.com), writer, thinker, photographer and and a very amateur musician.

I live in the great state of Nebraska where the Huskers rule and corn is king. It also happens to have the only unicameral state government in the U.S. I love thunderstorms (which is a good thing considering where I live!).

I love science, especially astronomy, physics, and evolutionary biology.

Thanks for the new :+fav:'s!

How's your AP going? Just read your last journal entry and was curious how things were progressing for you.

I've done one photo of the moon so far. My issue with the scope is that it is too jittery. I need a better mount I think. Either that or the scope is just not that good. I haven't decided if I want to spend more money for a better scope or not.

It's probably the mount. A good equatorial mount is the basis for all good astrophotography. I would invest in that first. The rule of thumb, at least for non-AP dedicated mounts, is to divide the mount's payload capacity in half to get the upper limit for AP. So if your mount has a payload capacity of 20 lbs. (not including counter weights), you can reasonably expect to get steady astro photos with 10 lbs. of gear on your mount.

Thanks for the info. I will figure out what I need. My tripod is pretty lightweight and doesn't seen too sturdy so I will need to get a better one.

Thanks for the :+fav:!
