Well hello. Some profile picture, sir! I haven’t got a clue about any reply to your question (visual only).

But welcome and I hope you have a lot of fun getting the answers you need. 🙂

(And you’ll probably need to change your clothes!)

Welcome. Have lots of fun on the learning curve. 🙂

Welcome. So glad you’re enjoying the hobby. My only advice would be to continue doing so ... oh, and perhaps be very careful of those who would entice you  into the Dark Art of astrophotography ...

Be afraid, be very afraid. 😈

Only joking of course. Just have fun with the hobby - that’s why most of us do it. 🙂

Welcome. Have lots of fun. 🙂

This was an interesting article till it went political. 

Reread it but still can’t find the bit where ‘it went political’. ??

Welcome. Hope you have lots of fun and success with the AP. 🙂

Welcome. I think you are on the upward slope of a learning curve here ... it’s definitely not astrology! (Perhaps predictive keyboard, hopefully.)

Read as much as you can about scopes and eyepieces, as well as the hobby in general. Plenty of info on here if you use the search facility.

Hope you have lots of fun. 🙂

Welcome. Hope you have lots of fun with the hobby and the forum. 🙂

Yes, it’s a cracker! Clouded over now but I, too, got WL and Ha earlier this morning. The ‘secondary area farther north’ is AR2780 but I only saw the plage in Ha and didn’t pick it up at all in WL - only found out about it when checking GONG. AR2781 is spectacular, though, and even a dusting of hazy cloud was acceptable as it provided a filtering effect in WL. 😎

All in all, very pleased I got out earlier. Opportunities have been few recently. 😀👍

Welcome. Glad you’re enjoying the Bright Side.

Hope you have lots of fun as Cycle 25 continues to build. 😎

Welcome. Sky at Night magazine did a favourable first light review last month on the Skywatcher Heritage 150, billed at £219. Also showed a photo of the moon taken with a phone adapter. Might be worth a look at that model.

Hope you and your lad have lots of fun. 🙂
