Good podcast
Found out about this podcast from cloudy nights recently, and decided to give it a listen. It’s very good and has plenty of helpful information that many people will find useful.
Beginners welcome!
I found this show when I was searching for astrophotography content geared more towards beginners, and I haven’t missed an episode yet. I always learn something and Roo is a very engaging host. Keep up the good work!
