My first contact

 Today is a monumentous day in the history of this new blog. 

I made 'first contact'. 

Well, a reader made 'first contact' with me, if we are being accurate.

Tony, from Australia, dropped me an email saying how much he appreciated the blog. He is a beginner to astrophotography and like me, has been spending hours trawling the internet via blogs and YouTube to find out information. 

He was grateful for finding all the information he needed as a beginner in just one place. 

And that is and will always continue to be the main aim of the blog - you can read more about my aims here:

Anyway, Tony, thanks for taking the time to drop me an email - greatly appreciated - confirmation that it is helpful for beginners and that the blog is fulfilling its aim of helping other beginners.
