Sunshine

Sounds like you had a fantastic experience looking at some objects I never get to see this far north, I enjoyed reading your report as your enthusiasm is infectious. Having said that, I am motivated to do some research on these objects considering your descriptions are so vivid, enjoy every outing with that big light bucket!.

Love it!

Wow that is some amazing detail in that image, I have to ask about the light streaks bottom right of the horse head, are they natural?

I'm sure that will buff out and they'll have it ready in a snap.

First night is all about getting acquainted with your scope, session will only get better, enjoy!

Welcome! getting your firsts steps into the greatest hobby is never a waste of time or money, enjoy the new scope!

Absolutely beautiful!

A wonderful image, I agree regarding the framing, beautiful shot or, shots to be precise.

Can't recall ever seeing the LMC in such detail, wonderful!

Some people just have a knack for making things, this is great! it looks like something one would purchase! everything i make looks like trash, then they break and end up in the bin.

This is a stunning image of M31, worthy of a wall mount.

Wonderful image!

Welcome to SGL!

A magnificent image of a most beautiful object.

If I were to end up in that shoppe on a walk through the streets, I would be leaving without my wallet, clothes, signed my home over to the owner but, I would be complete!.

You mean to tell me I've been languishing under clouded skies for weeks now and, all i needed was a bag of marbles!? to the local store I am headed this moment.

I think by now the last thing  would want on earth is another quark, if they refunded your money for the item it might be a good idea to lick wounds and retreat on this one. Unless you're willing to

risk getting another bad one and, start from square one again, ship it off and such all over again.

Excellent! great find, you'll have tonnes of fun with that scope.

600x ? The TSA is hardly breaking a sweat 😀

If it weren't coming from Jeremy's mouth I would not believe this could be attainable from a 120, i would have to see it to fully comprehend that much power from a 120.

Oh you've seen the sun lately, lucky you!

Great first session, and yes that is M42!

Imagers may find this software handy, at least wide field imagers, mostly.

Welcome to SGL! you cant go wrong with the 200P, it is a great scope!

Surrey EH! I lived in Surrey B.C. as a child, fond memories.

Maybe you've uploaded the wrong image?

Welcome!
