oh i think it might actulay be m52 im using a 25mm

hi all just trying to find the m52 by casopia and i have stumbled upon a very dim cluster of stars one of wich is very orange any ideas what im seeing?

i took my scope to tenby last week and had 1 good clear night the skies there were really dark compares to liverpool i had the scope set up in front of the caraavan and people were gathering around asking for a look and they too were amazed as i showed them star clusters the rings and moons of saturn and the ring neb i like passing on what i know even if im just a beginer its nice to make some people think about how everything all started from the big bang.

what else would i need? maybe a tripod? for astro? will this do light exposures?

hi all just thought i would ask on some opinons before i buy. will this be a good starter camera for me? cheers guys

any one else find that the atomosphere aint to good after a hot day and that its a bit hard to focus?

just thought probaly the only time i am ever going to get to star gaze in shorts in the uk was last night i was in shorts and a t-shirt last night lol

bright?? what size eye peice was you using? could you seen the rings and moons? i know this mith sound silly but are you sure it was saturn?? i have a 200p and i veiw saturn with a 10mm eye peice and i can see moons rings and a little detail on the planet it self.

lol did you expain that the light he is seeing is actuly looking back in time

i found m3 again last night just to make sure i didnt find it be fluke chance im confident that i can find that 9/10 times yet to see m81 m82 but going on down to pembrokshire this week so nice dark skies down there might be a bit easier to find them.

this was my first time trying to locate the ring nebula and found it first go its pritty easy just in between those two stars under vega i used my 25mm ep just wish i had my 10 but i sold it but none the less i had a nice veiw of m3 and the double cluster also the double double still yet to locate m81

when we will be able to see jupiter?

staying in kiln park, a 25mm EP arrived this morning so i mite be ok with just that just wish i had a barlow i am a new to this the light pollution cant be as bad as it is here in liverpool though

what are the skies like helen?

wooo good for just remember me when you want to sell it lol

lol i sold two scopes and with them my 4 EP's to buy some new EP's that were ment to come today but they never and now on monday morning 1am going to tenby with my family and scope but no EP's

hi any one know of any were in south wales were i can pick up some eye peices?
