Hi todd, the cannon software wont run on this net book somet to do wit low screen res!! yep looks like ive wasted my money on the eos, ile have to get another web cam type with video available.

Hi there, yeah i used a x2 barlow, with a t ring, and a eos adapter ring, i found you cant really see much in the dslr camera veiw finder to focus on. i have tried the spc 900 etc but i was struggling to get the planet or star on the ccd chip has it is very small, good for the moon!. The eos 300d does not have live video option,oh god! what i paid for it i could have got a 15 mp compact digital camera! I have been using a mak 90 eq1 with eos 300d, eos ring and x2 barlow in between.

hi Isabelle, yeah thats what it looks like over here in uk was out last night and i got the same view, bit disappointed, not very clear at all Saturn, very yellow like your picture, mind you it was coming up in the east low.

wow this is great, ive yet to see stuff like this, back garden in city and all that light!!

yes, pity i did not see it i think it was cloudy here that time.

hi Isabelle i have not found the rosette nebula yet, ive been told it because i live in the city and it wont show.

yep same here 90mm 1250 fl mak x 9mm x 2 barlow still no detail!!

hmm........ Rosetta nebula i cant find, 3 nights trying, i even dialed it in on Ra and Dec circles. light pollution and been a city dweller don"t help, not seeing the good stuff. really disappoints me when i set out to find a object and i don"t see nothing, iam getting a bit fed up with looking at same thinks, orion neb, jupiter, Venus. moon, pliedies which i like!! always impresses me.

yep, i got up early one day in December, to see mars very disappointed, just a reddish blob!! like you picture is. no detail , even on full power on mak 90 mm i bought for planet viewing.

hi Isabelle, long time no see, yeah ive seen mars very disappointed just a orange blob no detail even had various filters on even on, with a maksutov 1250mm x 9mm e.p! yours Paul.

nice to see orion again always give me the wow factor, has pliedies does has well, jupiter really bright.

my daughter has ordered me a sky watcher mak 90 eq1 from flo has a Christmas pressie!!

i have returned the scope whence it came i was not happy with the large thing!! oh i could not afford a decent mount!! £164!! DOH!!

hi mate, gutted for you.

there electric bills must be though th roof!! with the lights on.

hi there nice!! scope!! its a beast!! now go and move that haligon light in second picture. next door neighbor by the look of things. lol.

hi, yeah i managed to see it other night, just above houses here in York, it was rising about 9 pm in east, Betelgeuse was flickering all colors. better view in 15x70 bins than scope, nice to see orion again.

hi Isabella. thats ok, its been low cloud over here in York UK last few days, looks like i wont see YU 55!! something else we will have missed, all the previous meteor showers were blocked out by cloud cover here. i have posted a link for live YU 55 on a blog. yours Paul.

yes!! thats why i linked to it ,found it while looking for info on yu55 asteroid.

Hi, did you see much detail, i had dob on it other night following it, wrong lens in 20mm, still a bright light, i want to see some detail, has i have seen it loads times with bins but just a ball of light. yours paul.

what time were you out, looks like ive missed another show again!

yeah iwas out, until cloud driffted over! finnally found andromeda! just a grey smudge! full power made it worse 6mm ep x2 barlow! had to step back to 15mm ep. Jupiter was good although bright, cygnus good has was cassiopiea, trying to find m101 did my head in, i know its vacinity between mizar and alkaid about 4 degrees up, could not find it. that was last night 19th getting cold then so i gave up.

yeah same here, i had to watch it live on line coming from italy!!

ah good glad some people out there saw somethink, usually every meteor shower we have its always over cast and a poor show, how long does the draconids last! i read a article on sky and telescope web site and they reckon the moon gets peppered with them on the north pole a few hours after the shower.
