KEV168000MPS Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 i am very new to this stargazing game and i love it alread.i got a telescope for my christmas and love using it, the images i have seen are greati have always been interested in the universe and this present has only increased my interest.so far i have (clearly) seen the moon, jupiter & sirius i have seen others but all just look like small stars.i have a celestron PS1000 reflector telescope and i find it pretty easy to point & looki do not know any technical jargon relating to astronomy and i am looking to learn how to use coordinates.i think this site has good potential and would love any hints or tips to improve my expierence.oh and i am from glasgow scotland.i have attached a photo i managed to get from my iphone camera pointing down my lense.

Nice image by the way but be careful of the seductions of astrophotography - they don't call it the 'dark art' for nothing! :grin:Clear skies and enjoy the forumJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
