CPRE Orion Star Count Dark Sky Survey is this week
Helical replied to SuburbanMak's topic in Getting Started With Observing
Had a try at this at 22.45 last night from supposedly Bortle 4 , managed 8 after about 10 mins. Might be the effects of cataracts rather than pollution so I don't think I'll send the results in.- 17 replies

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Hi everyone thanks all for the advice. I don't actually have a DSLR, just trying to figure out how much more I'm likely to spend in the future. The money tree is a bit bare at the moment. Clear skies!

Hi I'm just starting out with a 150 mm f5 Newtonian on Skywatcher eq3 Pro Synscan mount. My scope is towards the top end of the payload for the mount. So using a DSLR may be pushing things. My question is would upgrading the aluminium tripod to steel increase the payload or will I need a whole new mount? Cheers

After several years away from astronomy the Great Conjunction has got the astro juices flowing. I used to be called "timefortea" but the email provider for that has gone to dust so I had to change identity.
