GaryB Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hello all,Had a scope for a few years but never looked past the moon to be honest, but now keen to learn more and get the best out of what looks to be a great hobby. I have a Skywatcher 150 PL on a EQ3-2 mountJust getting to grips with balancing the scope and polar aligning the mount.Observed Jupiter last weekend - looked stunning.I want share with my friends what I've been observing by taking photos,My first attempts had mixed results;Moon photos taken with DSLR body on T adaptor came out great - well for me anyway,But........Jupiter, captured on a converted XBox webcam is dreadful.I'll post for some advice in the appropriate section.CheersGary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywatcher58gb Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 HI Gary, I still have my Helios 150 on an EQ3-2 mount which I think is the forerunner to the skywatcher, it still gives great views.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
