Looking forward to seeing Jupiter tomorrow morning, early start then back to bed!

Imaging tonight. M42 in Ha to come....

Hi Everyone.

Just thought I'd share my first ever image of M42 and say thank you to everyone who helped me out on here.

I had so many troubles with my mount and after using the help provided from this site, I can confirm the mount is working like a charm, finally.

This is a single 240 sec exposure of M42 with an un-modded Canon 6D, no guiding, no stacking...I'm so happy.

I now have to learn to auto guide with PHD 2....so you'll be hearing from me soon.

Thank you all

Slightly amused by the amount of money blown up at 00:00 this morning; but I always was a sceptic!

A very Merry Christmas to you all!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year - and may your skies be clear!

Cloud, glorious cloud

A very Merry Christmas to you all!

No Astro mojo at the moment. Hoping to get it back after New Year again fingers crossed! 

Not holding out much hope of seeing the occultation tonight.

Clear skies forecast, moon sets 10.30ish, street lights go out at 12 on Sundays, no work tomorrow. Big scopes out. What could possibly go wrong  

Scopes out....clouds in....scope in. Boo!

Itching for those long nights to roll back in !

Happy solstice everybody it just gets better for us darksky crew from today. charl...

Wondering why I bought a telescope in June?

Looking forward to using GoTo for the first time soon.. should be fun!

Split the double double, M44, M3, M97, M51, Saturn and now... bed! 

To my utter surprise, and joy, I found out that FLO now deliver to Jordan. 
Thank you FLO.

Thanks for the advice on the ar90 - I've had a look I think it might be just what I'm after. Much in the way of CA? I'm confused - it's a doublet but not ed is that right?
