You're telling me Viv,i don't know where to look:)

I think i will just stick to taking landscaped star photos for now and concentrate on a telescope a little later on as at the moment my ickle brain can't take it all in,didn't realise there was so much involved

Hi and welcome to SGL!

[Paulus17]

Thank you both Marks

Mark Q when you say imaging i take it that is taking images using a telescope with a camera attached??

If it is then yes eventually i would like to do that,but for now i will just be taking landscaped images of the night sky,and using my bins for now.

But it also seems that PP-ing the images is another learning curve:icon_scratch:

Welcome Paulus. Not sure if you have these but I've found Stellarium really useful and free! Also the book Turn Left at Orion. Enjoy

Thank you for the welcome CD:)

Yes i do have Stellarium it was one of the first things i downloaded,and look on there ech night to see what i am missing:(

Are there any easy to follow tutorials on how to use it?

[Celtic Deacon]

Haven't found any tutorial embedded Paulus, if there is one someone here is bound to know. I tend to use it as a reference at the moment, trouble is running back to pc ruins night vision!

[Viv]

Are there any easy to follow tutorials on how to use it?

None that I know of, just have a mess & see what the different settings do.

Of course - shout for any questions.
