Hi Firbes welcome to SGL

Wow... thanks to all for the warm welcome! Also thanks for the advice to stay patient (not a strong suit of mine!!).

Looking forward to darker evenings and clear skies and following nytecam's advice on marking up the patio... good call.

Cheers

Forbes

Welcome to SGL, or just "The Lounge" because "the Permanent Drain on the Wallet Society" is rather a mouthful

Right then... here we go, weekend number two... clear skies expected so lets see if I can be less of a muppet this time!!! Bon weekend to all.

Hi all.... SLOOOOOOOOWLY getting the hang of it.... and loving it. Last Saturday was a bit of a special moment, looking at the full moon in all its glory. As I have yet to spend even more o a good camera set up to go with my scope (suggestions welcome for about a £500-£600 budget would be most welcome!) I used my Samsung Galaxy S3 to grab a quick snap down the eyepiece... obviously its not up to the awesome standards on here but it gave me massive satisfaction to do this with a camera phone (lunar filter colours it blue of course)... thought I'd post it as I am so excited by it!
