    I just dont understand... every weather report I look at says its clear skies.. yet my window forecast tells me the polar opposite!!

      Weather is not for your location it is for Kent, London, Sussex, Surrey and possibly Hampshire and Essex. I can see Vega, Deneb and Altair and 2 or 3 others in Cygnus but nothing else in Lyra or Aquila which leads to the question: To the Met Office is that Clear or not?

    I'm in a nightclub.. I love nightclubs... But I cannot wait to leave so I can get home and set up the scope to get more subs!!!!

    Its another nice clear night.. Bit choppy though, stars are twinkling.. is it worth an imaging session??

    That awkward moment where peoples shots with AZ mounts put your images that you took with your with a HEQ5 to shame..

    Clear... But seeing is abysmal coupled with a moon. Better views from the bottom of the ocean!

    perhaps he means using a webcam that isn't designed for imaging.. so it doesn't fit into the focuser.

    From newbie experience, don't bother trying to image with a Barlow... Unless it's planets your after. All you will get is smeared, poor quality images. Lunar images aren't really possible either as the Barlow increases magnification so much that you can't fit it all in the frame. Everyone here will also tell you that you need the best mount you can afford. The basic ones that come on budget scopes just aren't up to it really. I'm currently in the same position as you, and just about to purchase an upgrade of scope and mount.

    is this some sort of in joke or is that actually your first image? because to me that looks beyond incredible even if someone said they had years of experience. madness! i didn't even think it was possible to get images like that from Earth
