Hi, my name is Jim Barnett.
I live in Petaluma, California, Sonoma County, USA.
I've been a visual observer for about 40 years, dabbled in the 1970s with SLR film astro-photography, have generally avoided conventional CCD astro-photography on account of the large time demands and my very limited free time. I've recently become interested in EAA given the lesser time demands and instantly shareable results, and am looking at getting both a color and monochrome camera. I am leaning SX Lodestar X2 monochrome and Ultrastar C, but who knows, I may change my mind tomorrow.
I'm thinking color for outreach and mono for speed/short after work sessions.
