AlanThorpe Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thanks very much for the welcomes!! A few nice clear nights lately, happy days/nights. Only seen Andromeda so far, trying to find more fuzzy stuff, but failing miserably! Had great views of Jupiter and moons lately and Orion Nebula looked unreal with 8" compared to my old scope, so all good so far! Hoping to try a bit of photography next!Great forum, plenty of help here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah great, cheers for that, I recently bought the Atlas, it's great and Turn Left is a good one too, both are getting plenty of reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
