I thought it was because I live in Ireland

I downloaded deepsky camera beta haven't had a chance to use it yet could you have a look and let me know what you think

Have you been to bolands bar

Just up the road live by fairly mount post office

Just checked weather for tonight, hoping a might get an 1 hour or 2

Next clear skies (hopefully) I let the dob cool down and might have some time to study closer, is it best under low or high magnification. Thanks for all your replies

Hi Stu did you use any filters when you saw a green tint

12"skywatcher , I live in bortle 3 area

Hi everyone. As still new to this and only got my first scope in the summer, I haven't had a chance to see Orion rise in the sky yet. I couldn't sleep last night and at 3.30 decided to get up ,looking outside I could see clear skies, quickly getting dressed rolled the dob out of the shed not having time to cool down I could see clouds coming in from the west. Using the 28mm ep to find the Orion Nebula it looked magnificent, added a uhc filter but it didn't look any different, I changed to a es 82 degrees 6.6mm and was very pleased on how good the ep was, at 4.15 the clouds covered everything so rolled the dob back in and it started to rain as usual 😪. Can you see any colour in Orion Nebula with any other filters or is it always going to be grey I know you won't see it like the way it is in books. Thanks dave

Do you get any vibration from the fan being screwed in I have mine hanging with hair bungees

Home made fan and kept in the shed but I take the caps off. Don't have it pointed upwards just incase a bird poop's into it

Got one of these from amazon works a treat

Don't know why I always add multiple photos he only got the one phone. Help mark at Beaufort.

Not much to do with astronomy. But thanks to callisto for help funding a new phone for my son

Thanks I didn't know about the clear outside appo

Have you won the lottery mark🤣

I have no problem with light pollution living in the middle of nowhere. Moving my dob around the garden is easy , the only problem I have where I live is it's always raining or cloudy

I agree love that 3rd shot looks like your actually flying over moon

Hi and welcome to SGL

Do you see any colour when looking at the Western veil with the 0III filter . I was using the uhc filter last night and it was just grey

Hi John welcome tothe lounge

Not the postman but DHL 2 nice ep's You know when you buy ep's it's going to rain. If you buy books would you get clear skies if so I need to get a library
