I am a beginner of deep sky.
I feel the fantasy through your beautiful photos.
I also like watching films about space, Star Trek, Star War and some else. If you know more, please tell me.
I hope I can find peace in this website.
Love.

Hello Lens,
Many greetings from Northern Germany. It is a great hobby that you have chosen. Here you will find many good pictures from which you can get a lot of ideas. You'll see that your photos get better over time.

Lens and Noah - 

My name is Patrick and I am also located in Souther California, down by the Port of Los Angeles.

I was wondering if there are any active groups or clubs in the area for Astrophotography.

Welcome to the forum, lots of nice folks in here.  I really don’t know much of anything about this hobby and have no clubs around me so this makes a great place for advice.

Hey @Patrick Jasanis  --

Your comment made me realize I should mention: I actually run a Discord server for SoCal astrophotographers. Invite link: https://discord.gg/kDDA5s37WB

I know there are a few other active groups around the area, but I don't know any of their names other than the LA Astronomical Society.

A lot of LA people go to the Frazier Mountain Trailhead parking lot to do visual & astrophotography. It's bortle ~4, which is about as dark as you can get around here. An hour and a half from downtown LA. The Mt. Pinos parking lot is 30 minutes further away but has better seeing, though no cell reception.

Hello from Orange County, CA!

Would love to hear how people handle light pollution. I've been doing astrophotography for a couple of years but I feel like I have a long way to go in processing.
