Hi Everyone, This is my first picture with the telescope, am having issues with the mount, but am happy so far Fakhri

Thank you Uranium 235. Your work is an inspiration I'm sort of going in baby steps since there isn't anyone around to help and everything I need to get I have to ship from abroad (not a fun exercise). Apparently Jordan isn't as dark as I thought it was, I'm still finding out to be honest. I know you're not a fan of the DSLR route, but its an easy way to at least start with astroimaging, getting a CCD camera into Jordan requires special permission (and also when you factor in shipping, customs and tax then the price is more than double what you all are seeing). I wish there was more information on how to focus with a Ha filter and DSLR. Baby steps This forum has been a beautiful source of info, and I blame you personally for me getting the 130PDS the saving up for the Atik is currently ongoing Thanks

Hi Everyone, I Must say I have been through this thread .. ohhh at least 3 or 4 times , and because of it I am now the proud owner of a 130 PDS It arrived earlier today. I must say .. even knowing that is wasn't a large scope ... its so cute It also probably the first one to come to Jordan (as far as I know). So I thank you all for it, I would not have bought this if it hadn't been for this thread and some of the super amazing images on it. I hope I can do it justice If all goes well it may very well see first light tonight, if not at the latest it will be tom. I will be using a modified Canon 1200 the Baader MPCC Mark III and if all goes well I might get to try out the Baader narrowband filters. I guess I will keep you posted. Thanks again guys
