Not allowing for BST always throws alignment out. It's best to have the time and date correct. Oh, don't forget to put your day and month in that ridiculously backward format...

Lovely image. I keep looking at those CFF Cassegrains. The f20 is just perfect for planetary.

Looks good. Very smooth and not overblown like a lot of images.

As long as no one suffers or their food spoils, I love a good power cut!

It wasn't fun. Spending the evening in the cold with just a candle...

I remember when... back in the '70s when we had power cuts and there was zero light from anywhere, I had some incredible views of Orion. I remember three faint stars near Betelgeuse which I see in CdC listed as 6.8, 6.9 and 7.2.

I was younger back then and was known for seeing faint stars through my scope. Not so now 

Hi John, welcome to SGL  That's a lovely image 👍

A low power opens up many star fields to observe. The wider you can get the more immersive the experience. What kind of budget do you have?

Hi Nicola, welcome to SGL 

The NEQ6 + 200P is a nice combination. Mounts are everything - there's nothing worse than the wobbles!

Hi, welcome to SGL 

I have a 120mm f8.3. They are excellent at low powers but bit of an unwieldy beast. An EQ6 is the minimum I would say.

If you are after inexpensive low power views, how about this https://www.firstlightoptics.com/reflectors/skywatcher-explorer-130p-ds-ota.html At £179 it comes with a (basic) 28mm 2" eyepiece giving x23 and a 2.4° field of view. It is also a capable imaging scope should you choose to venture down that route later.
