I think you have excellent results

Thank you for this, very helpful

Hi

Im thinking of dipping my toes in the water with a ZWO ASI120MC-S USB3.0 colour camera w/ Guide port, is this an easy one to start with? Will I obtain some decent images of planets and some of the brighter objects in the night sky?

Thanks

Hi

I remember my first view of Mars many years ago through a 4” Meade telescope, it was rather disappointing. A very small disc with little (if any detail)

Now I’ve progressed to a larger aperture and my aim is to see Uranus and  Neptune. I am not expecting to see much! 
 

keep magnification low and have look later in the year, you will get better views

Brilliant, looks like exactly the same eqp

Can you make me one?

I will pay, I have no way of making one like this?

Chris

start with moon and planets & see how I get on, then perhaps some of the brighter M objects

thanks for your reply

Hi

will the above be ok to use with my MacBook?

If not is there anything of a similar price that will?

Thanks

Morning,

I came across a post about a rolling dolly for a telescope and thought it was a great idea! Is it? How easy is it to make or even better where can I purchase one at a reasonable cost?

looks like the perfect solution to my problem

Big ask here, can I buy one?

Hi Chris, I am very new to astronomy and this forum but also hail from the SY13 area! Are you a member of the Shropshire Astro society?

Hi May be an idea to chat etc. Not a member of any society

Im very near Whitchurch (Tilstock)

thanks

thanks, just googled it and that's what I came up with

just been out walking the dog, noticed a line of 'moving stars' starting in the direction of Altair then moving slowly straight up and eventually disappearing at the Zenith. There must have been about 30\40 of these objects....any ideas. time 6:15 wish

Thanks!!!!

thanks

thanks, the equipment is what it is. Planetary and lunar will have to do then

though I may have a dabble at M31  M42. etc just for the fun of it

Afternoon,

I've moved from Wolverhampton to Whitchurch SY13 and wondered if there is anyone near me as Im feeling very isolated (ahhh)

Chris

Thanks

Christmas list already made!!!!

thanks, lets see how I get on!!!!!

Which (if any) stacking tool works with MAC?

Morning, I most certainly will

The last time I looked it was through a 105 ETX, hoping that my 200mm skywatcher will afford better views!!

brilliant!

at last I, inspired again!!! 

I was getting the impression I would have to spend hundreds to get a decent photo

well done

great image, guess what I'm going to do when my phone arrives!!

its good to know that you have seen Uranus, its rather disappointing to see the planet in one way (lack of detail etc) but an achievement all the same.

I aim to find Neptune when I can, and tick it off the list. 

Mars was my most disappointing object!
