Stevie P Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hello to everyoneWell having recieved my first telscope three days ago, (Skywatcher Explorer 130-EM), with countless questions, answererd invariably by this site via good old google, it seemed best to join...With only three days in and only a few hours of clear skies Wednesday evening I managed to get some fairly good views of the Moon, even snaped a couple of pictures down the the eye-piece, and a reasonable view of jupiter and 4 of the moons... All abrupltly ending as the clouds put paid to viewing that evening.Oh how I can see a few late nights ahead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi Stevie and welcome to the forum. Nice photo of the moon and if you are interested in developing (apologies for the pun) your imaging ambitions, I wouldcertainly recommend that you take a look at Steve Richards' book "Making Every Photon Count" (FLO £19.95). It will certainly provide you with a comprehensive overview of astrophotography or the "dark art" as we like to call it. Clear skies and hope you enjoy the forum.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
