WELL THAT WAS WORTH IT!!!! not only did i see and image jupiter! I BAGGED MY 1ST GALAXY!!!! M43!!!! :) and i imaged M43!! im over the MOON, not the best imaging but im very happy :)))

we got one of the best dark spots in uk down the road about half hour drive, my 1st proper dark spot viewing also!!! im BUZZING!!!! :D

No worries, it's a bit of a killer arising at 4am-ish.

Let us know how your session went, TingTing. I for one would like a read and insight :-)

i will do qualia, im starting to find out its ok getting all the data, but its totally another thing processing the gb's of data and stacking and actually putting into a thread loool i got hundreds of pics now, just need to find a spare week to process them all lol,

by the looks of it im not going to be able to see her again till FEBRUARY!!!! NOOOOOOOOO :(

Tingting, it may sound silly but it might be fun to wake up early one day this week and take a peek at Venus and Jupiter.

ohh that sounds great! id love to be able to spot my 3rd and 4th plantets :D when is the latest in to the morning you can see these then qualia :D

no more guessing where the center is for alignment cant be a bad thing loool :D

Expect a few clouds as compensation for your new toy, tingting :-)

haha qualia :) all this sun has taken all my dam energy away, wayyy to tired to get all the scope out, gutted as skies are clear :( i really need a observatory :(

also im going to stay in london tomorrow on a boat, will there be much point taking scope? as im guessing i wont be able to align on a moving boat? it will be parked up bit still moving with the waves and stuff?

bins willbe better for boating. as for torch. just buy ordinarry torch and cover with red nail varnish or red sweet wrappers.

thanks rory, my father in law has got some mega bins, i grab them haha think they got image stabiliser on them too :D

i just got this red torch in the end :D

Hope you can get out, Tingting. Make a little plan of what you may want to hunt out. Good to be prepared :-)

thanks mate turnt on notifications now for replies to my status, it was turned off :( so did not know people were replying :(

I've never really used TLAO, but it is a great choice. I think Sky Atlas by Sinnott is for me the essential read.

thanks qualila! :D the last book i bought, or should i say bought for me must have been thomas the tank engine lol you can see im not really into books :D

Try classifieds :-)

You'll need a few more posts... 50 posts to view and to buy, 250 posts to place a classified ad. When you get to 50 posts, look top right.

that sucks, surely that just promotes spamming? im not a spammer so ill just have to wait a few months to be able to even view, great!

Very very few, thats why i recommend goto for beginners. Sometimes you have only 30mins of clear sky, and a goto can mean the difference of seeing somthing and seeing nothing at all.

yeah its not as simple as point and click with the goto as i was expecting before i bought one, but once your use to it and the night sky its better :D

1% lol
