Greetings from Indy in isolation!
I have been shooting since I was 10 with a Brownie, then a 124 format that I won in a coloring contest as a child. First real camera in ‘85 a Canon T 70 with a 24-105 Vivitar. Then my older brother loaned on long term some of his Nikon equipment. Last film camera were a N90S and a F100. Met Moose Peterson when he was introducing the ‘new’ D1.
I was hooked on digital. Currently use a D500 for wildlife using the Sigma 150-600 Sport and the Nikon Z 7. Slowly acquiring Z mount lenses. Kept all my older F mount lenses. Now my focus is landscape, macro (flowers and butterflies). Want to explore astrophotography, went to Wyoming for the eclipse and was able to capture a decent set of images. Also captured the Milky Way but those needed real work. I like this forum for its critiques not criticism. I submitted a few captures of our amaryllis. The critiques were well received. Looking forward to viewing and submitting images. Enjoy life, capture life, share life!

Welcome Bk.. I, too, image a lot of DSOs (Deep Sky Objects) with my Canon 6d and my Canon T2i. I use a Rokinon 14 mm which is a great lens for astro work using the Milky Way and ground-based objects. I also use an 8 inch RC reflector for all the goodies in space like nebulae and galaxies. Astrophotography is by far the most challenging form of photography given the different apertures, shutter times, and ISO. Don't give up, the rewards will be great.

Thanks to the many encouraging words concerning astrophotography. Much appreciated. New to the Site and learning my way around. Have a sturdy tripod, a Rokinon 14mm f/2.4 and the Nikon Z mount 14-30 but it’s only f/4. Learned Nikon has or will release a 20mm f/1.8. More study required. But that’s the fun of photography!
