  1. Hi Philip, I have a 300x eye piece and a barlow lense, what would you recommend for viewing Saturn?

      Thank you Phil.

  2. My neighbour used some rubber matting to place the tripod on, that reduced the shakes a lot when zoomed in. I was zoomed in 600x (300x lense + Barlow) to see Jupiter but it was shakey. I forgot to put the mats down, as soon as the tripod was on the rubber mats the shaking nearly stopped. Chrissy x
  3. What is a DSLR??? Is it a big lens for a camera or is it a lens for a telescope?

    Hello

    Hello Lapwing welcome to the forum. I am new here too and I've stopped using social media almost. Still follow groups and message on telegram or whatsapp (details on my profile). I look forward to learning from your posts. I'm here to be taught and learn as much as I can. Chrissy x
  5. Well done Neil on getting 2nd in the terminator challenge and 3rd in the pick a planet 2022. I can barely use a telescope, I wouldn't even know how to setup a camera on it to take photos 🤷‍♀️
  6. I did some practicing setting up my tripod, using the different lenses and filters today. I was so looking forward to using the telescope tonight but its rained. Typical. 😑
  7. Cool images. I have a question and its probably stupid "Does the sun spin like the planets do or is it stationary?"
  8. I think we've been measuring it wrong. If the outer universe we see is 13.7 billion years old, then during that 13.7 billion years if it expands at the speed of light what would it be now? Maybe 93 billion and 13.7 billion are both correct answers.
  9. I missed an opportunity of clear skies last night. Its a bit cloudy today, I hope it clears up tonight. I just had a go with setting up my telescope as I need it (My neighbour helped). Its ready for viewing this evening. Fingers crossed the skies go clear. I want to see Jupiter, when will I be able to see that next in the night sky? Chrissy x
  10. Venus was really bright last night but I was in sleepy la la land before midnight last night 🙂
  11. Thank you Philip I never thought of that. It is hard trying to fit lenses in and trying things out when its dark. I'll do that this weekend I think.
  12. Its supposed to be clear skies later this week in the west country apparently.
  13. I'm in Stonehouse so not far at all, too cloudy tonight though for the telescope.
