jeez , i never even thought of looking there !! thanks milan, it's often right under your nose isnt it lol -
i have a nexstar 6se which has been an absolute dream to use , however i am having a bit of trouble settign up a custom site, to be honest i dont have a large amount of knowledge about the whole longitude latitude thing and im struggling to find coordinates for my dark site i have an app for my iphone and also i have used a couple of sites on the net but none of them seem to give me exactly the correct format i need to enter in . i have a google maps link to a nearby site i think co-ords for that will work fine

Not sure if this is the right Area for this but here goes anyway, Could some one tell me how to change view in google earth so the moon appears as is does to me visually from my location, is that even possible? It's a great tool but it's early days for me and I'm struggling go find my way around

im so glad there are serious scientists out there working hard to give me 'firsts evidences' of amazing revelations such as this , i will remember to put my solar filter on when i look at jupiter next and factor 15

ok i'm a little stuck on this one, i have found a great i phone app which give me longitude and latitude info in the correct format to enter into my nexstar ( nearly) however the last number contains a decimal point and i cant work out how to put this in example 57 43' 4.9" how do i enter a deciaml point with the handset? or should i just round up ( or down)

To be honest I,be had fantastic fun every night apart from the first, and last night was amazing as I waited up for the moon and Venus. Seen quite a few faint fuzzies and even saw I tiny tiny amount of detail on the cigar galaxy i think
