Hi just thought I would add a quick message. When I was 7 my mum brought me a telescope which really I could only see the moon, been interested in space ever since. I've recently brought a Skywatcher skymax127- az goto telescope and wow what an amazing thing. I have different apps on my iPhone to help me round the sky, and stellerium on the laptop connected to my scope. I have just got the Phillips SPC900nu webcam so going to be try them over the next few weeks. The past few nights I've seen mars, Jupiter and three moons and big course our light in the the sky with Venus passing underneath. Sorry to go on but just wanted to share my interest with everybody and for those who are starting up this form site is great and everyone helps each other, Good look guys and clear skies.
