first light was solar viewing

First shot with scope was solar with baader filter.

Defiinitely interesting. did not do a night run with the scope, too many things going on.

Still got to figure out how to use the GoTo function. Had enough trouble finding the sun and it is definitely big enough and bright enough to find manually.

Going with Solar as a first run seems to be a good way to go, it is much easier to start learning in the day time how to maneauver the scope.

Hi John,

Sounds like a good idea to get to know your scope when you can see what you're doing.

Don't worry about not being able to do it all straight away, there's plenty of help available here and we all had to start somewhere..

Good luck and enjoy.
