Ray,

Were those images you took of the moon and Jupiter taken with the skywatcher or a different scope? Or did you even take them. I'm sorry if I'm hugely wrong or stupid, but those pictures are exiting. I've never actually looked through a telescope you see, and I'm getting a skywatcher soon, and if the views were anything like that I would be extatic! :)

Well Vesper prepare to be Ecstatic, those images were taken with the SkyWatcher 200p, but bear in mind those images are nothing compared to the view in the eyepiece, the Jupiter view was taken when the planet was low in the eastern horizon just after rising so the detail is smudged, it's better viewed when its higher in the sky! The higher the object the clearer the sky, The moon shots are just as seen, no magnification, but with some magnification you are very very close, the Moon is a fantastic object to view.

Those shots were just snaps taken at the eyepiece.

What size scope you getting? the 200p is an 8" reflector, my older scope the Skywatcher 130 is a 5.1" reflector.

This shot was taken with the 5.1" reflector using a CCD, web cam camera:
