Blogger isn't always the most intuitive platform to navigate - but it is free and simple to use and manage. 

To help you find information quickly on this blog, you can

• use this page which will be regularly updated https://undersouthwestskies.blogspot.com/2025/12/want-to-find-something-quickly-on-my.html

Regular blog readers will know that I signpost each post in its title.  I categorize each post as follows: 

• Equipment (tutorials, reviews, techniques)
• Editing tutorials
• Workflow tutorials
• Imaging (sessions, tutorials)
• Technique tutorials 
• Reviews
• Whats in the night sky - monthly summaries
• Discussion posts
• Planning tutorials
• Useful category

Under each heading below you will find related posts. The top most is the most recent in that category - so the further you go down the list, the older the posts are.
