Hello from the Black Isle

[AvochAndy]

Hello, everybody, and greetings from the Black Isle, Scotland.

I have always had an interest in Astronomy, but found this recently re-kindled recently when I inherited an old orange Celestron C-8. That, and the realisation that with a newly acquired scope with RA drive meant I could now attempt a bit of web-cam photography. Still very much on the bottom of a steep learning curve with the latter, so please forbear if I end up asking dumb questions. The attached image is of Jupiter from the night before last - think I have a lot of work to do to produce anything of quality! At least it's a start.......
