Hi, I had a new telescope for Christmas. Saw Jupiter for the first time a couple of weeks ago with my own eyes & have been out viewing it every clear night since. I got up at 5am when we had some clear skies to get a look at Saturn, it was amazing and also Venus which was sooo bright...i'm completely hooked now, cant wait for a few more weeks when Saturn will be out in the evening! (I'm not a very good early bird!!) Carla

F11 key sorted it out, brilliant, thanks!!

OK, thanks Daggerstab, will try the F11 key idea. Thanks Isabelle, I'm trying to find my way around the SGL so will post it if the F11 idea doesnt work.

Hi folks, I've tried a few times to download the Stellarium to my laptop (Windows 7). The image flickers and flashes. Any ideas what is causing this?

Hello to everyone in the SGL. I've just purchased my first 'proper' telescope and came across this fantastic website. The SGL seems like a very friendly welcoming community. Does anyone else have a Skywatcher 102mm AZ Goto Mak? Have entered my coordinates now and I'm just waiting for a clear night to do the star allignment. Any tips or advice would be very much appreciated? Thanks Folks..
