nice to see you back at the wide fields again i got orion last night will post them to photo bucket later

Cassiopeia this is a great one ,theres some great clusters to find,around it some small some big,i had another look again last night i for got to mention i found m81/82 last night by mistake and its they both great ,not very bright but i intend on drawing them tonight if its clear and not to much heat turb

Hi Isabelle and thanks for you comms do in planet videos should ne easy for you wit the 200p,the web cam was only about10 pound maybe 14 $ and it works great sometimes but for what it is ,it does good seeings not that great on a night .

clear but crazy haze spoils the fun did a bit more last night a wanted to get a pic with the red spot nearly did wil do another vido later and run them through registax

thanks

had another look last night could not even find it did have a lot last night hope to get out with the webcam and dslr tonight with clear skies predicted .

its funny you should mention m33 i got about 45 mins last night and managed to get my pens out and gave a quick draw i some times think i saw much more than i did ,one minute it was just stars the next was a faint smudge sounds like a great night for you

get used to the clouds they are a pain,

some nice shots there

nice write up

to be fair have ever only seen m101 a few times in 3 years .nt because i have not looked,but the LP with the new bulbs in i have no chance,,may be you could have a little club go in there,

elisha keeps ask in me when the early nights come not long i keep telling her i brought a laser pen the other day so i can point the stars above out,to her and her little group when the clocks go back have a great week

i think a lot depends on your budget, and what you want wide views high power low power whats your budget ?

hi Isabelle another great report ,glad the kids are loving the scope with you,the pics are great as well ,you got the moons great of jupiter.

i was washed out with the moon my self could not see a thing tried a bit of video but the wind rain and cloud dodge got to much in the end

as soon a the earlynights start in a couple a week i will have the same.

all the kids on my street come round looking but i plug the web cam in as they end up dive in all over the places and they have to get on the stool to peek at the ep grabbing the scope all over the place.

great report

well you better run for the hills ,in 3 years of pointing upwards i have never seen any thing ,like ufos or any thing i could not explain i would be a fool to say we are alone in this big space,but not sure whats in ya pic

sounds like a great night i had elles cheerleading freinds round once,they could point ursa major,orion and a few others when they looked through the scope at these they were gob smacked,for 13 year old girls that never shut up it was bliss for ten minutes till they got board ,but its great to have any company when out sideam glad the clocks here change soon so hope fully some early night view in

strange cloud,thats all it looks like to me

hi well i did manage a hour and half on the 6th but the things i had drawn were hard dodge in the cloud as well will post them later

hi Isabelle nice to hear you back at homeand get in back in with the big dob,i got about a hour in last night a bit of moon and then a bit of thering neb,i tried to draw it and its stars it came out ok and will post up later with the bit of moon video i got the wind was crazy last night about 20mph ,when it was gusting

for a while am just gonna draw what i see pics are ok but they take up most of the night and i never see any thing

take care both of you

lol it turned out to be cloudy and it rained

hi me to i will post septembers things soon good to se you back

hi Isabelle ,glad you back and you both are well,i have come to terms with my lp here and have to wait for my dark site to see some things the rain has had me a few nights now ,but lots of new things to see has the months zoom by herethe clocks change here soon so we may get some early nigt view in,but till then hope those baseball lights do not spoil to many nights for you
