I give up!! Tried the moon with t-ring barlow,nothing,tried t-ring barlow with another barlow..nothing,just can't focus when moving the focus wheel forward.Think I may as well sell my stuff I bought -
Seen Jupiter but night was a shambles
Stargazer 2013 replied to petergc's topic in Observing - Reports
I know all about failing in astrophotography lol..I can't even get my scope to focus on anything,the black plastic stops the focuser from going any further..I hope you do better next time -

Hi daveniko..There isn't one near me and I don't have a car.. I just don't want to cut off the plastic so it can move forward.It may work for them moon though,can't even see the moon at the moment so don't know where it is so I can use it. When I use the eyepiece in my scope I have to wind the focus back towards me but with the camera in the scope I have to move it forward to focus.. Iritating.. -
yeah same here,really fed up of the weather.Should I,shouldn't I for 30 mins lol

Best View Of Jupiter Yet!!!
Stargazer 2013 replied to Gazetilludrop's topic in Getting Started With Observing
I can see the bands and moons but I have to use the standard eye pieces and with my eyes not great it could be better if I had young eyes lol.. I just wish I could view it a bit larger -

Think everyone has stopped talking to me haha..I tried the barlow t-ring in the other scope and no show,its just a tiny bit of a turn,honestly so fed up!! -
Best View Of Jupiter Yet!!!
Stargazer 2013 replied to Gazetilludrop's topic in Getting Started With Observing
i love looking at Jupiter but it's so far away all I can see is like a pea at arms length.I only have a 130p skywatcher but tried a 25mm with x2 barlow which looked ok but tried a 8mm and it was like a tint to it which spoiled it.. -
Any good books to help?

I had a friend send me a pdf format file of Turn left at Orion..Looks pretty good so far -
I must add that pic is from Google as it was just to show what. I had seen
-
Cheers. I just got my new tripod few mins ago so will do the candle time lapse soon. I need to have cam quite far away because the lens steams up if too close.
-

-
Is that wht it was? I did see a few very bright stars in the cloud mist if that what I was seeing?
-
