At last the heavens have opened and the stars are burning bright in their lofty domains. I am unprepared so I will use my trusty little ETX70 and head out to the back garden. I will report my experience later....

That looks the biz, I hope it gives you much joy. -
Don't you just love rugged Russian engineering. -
Nice scopes but that rig has to wobble!!! -
I love the colours and grain of this image. It reminds me of an east German slide film I used to use called Orwochrome. Alas it is no more. -
Considering I'm supposed to be an IT proffesional.....

Hi Alf, welcome back to your childhood hobby. The 25mm you have is just fine for deep sky viewing provided it's field of view is around the 60 +° mark. You could go for a wide field 40mm but steer clear of the ones you see on e-bay for £20.00. The Sky-Watcher Aero 40mm ED has a 68° fov and is a really good buy at @ £150.00. -
Finally got it working!

Keep on trying, the rewards are well worth the effort. You got a bargain with that scope by the way! Good luck... -
Nice capture, the moon is very well resolved, impressive.
