Southern sky ignored.

I realsed tonight that I've been ignoring the Southern sky and can't navigate it very well. I think this is beacause my house faces the neighbours houses and there are street lights there. Due to the light pollution, I've always concentrated on the Northern skies. Tonight I just tried checking out the south west. For the first time tonight, I learnt how to spot Hercules and the Corona Borealis constellations with the naked eye. I also managed to spot M13, The Great Globular Cluster with my 10x50

Andromeda 13th Sept 2012 @2145

Had a great night viewing tonight, really clear from around 9pm. I've spotted a few satellites, one with a flare. I've also seen a few meteors falling to earth, while looking north east. My main object of concern has been Andromeda tonight. I've managed to get a few shots with my small 130mm Mirror and EOS 1000D camera. I don't think I'll ever get a better picture unless I upgrade to a larger scope, but this is my best attempt at capturing Andromeda so far.

Northern Sky, 11th September 2012 @2117

Glad the nights are drawing in for better Photos, I'm looking forward to getting some more images. I Took a few shots of the northern sky tonight. I was concerned that a lot of what I could see was noise on the camera, but when I compared the Photo with Sellarium, I was pleased to see the stars in my Photo matched up with the image on the software, something I haven't done before, it helped to assure me I'm getting something right.

Summer (The clouds have cleared, but the nights too short).

Amazing, the clouds have cleared tonight. For the first time in months, an opportunity arose. Unfotunately, it's Summer and June as well. I managed to spot a couple of stars, but the viewing time is so limited at this time of the year. I'm not even going to bother dusting of the Telescope. I'l just stick to my handy DSLR. I managed to spot Altair in Aquila, but thats the most I can image at the moment.
