Hi Marc,

Welcome to SGL, you must have been good last year for Santa to bring a new scope!. A good addition is a planetarium program, stellarium is a free download and can be found here :-- http://www.stellarium.org/ .

Cheers

Hey again all, thanks for all the replies, I have a jessops scope, with an EQ mount and a variety of EPs, couple of hundred pounds worth, it's really quite good for observing. I've studied a wee bit of Astrochemistry and physics so I do understand quite a lot. I've just never got round to buying a scope. I love it and I don't know how I've managed to get by without one. I'll attach my first astro photo which I took through my iPhone 4S. However I'll be getting a mount this week for my camera.

[Marcreilly87]

Can't find ow to upload a photo either, and the one I want for my profile pic is too big apparently lol helppp
