you could also user a smaller aperture setting (higher F Number)

that's assuming you were using a lens and not the dslr on the scope of course

Why do mine and Leigh's pictures at the side of our names have green dots ?

I thought it was because they had the Irish measles

[Soupy]

Patchy clouds out. Was looking promising earlier as well

[mapstar]

Yeah it's gone awful here too, only a couple of clear patches. Poor night so it's the bottom of a glass for me

Had a lovely day in York, followed by a meal at Pizza Express with my mum and the kids.

Was hoping for an hour's viewing on my return home, however the clouds have really descended.

So, I've joined the club and poured myself a nice cold beer, whilst I watch the end of the snooker

[Soupy]

We are due an observing session next Friday... Should really check long range forecast

Yes, I was using the 75-300mm lens, at the 300mm setting. I think it automatically sets to F5.6 at 300mm, however I still have a lot to read through and learn. It's all good fun

[Soupy]

Right, weather for Friday, sunny spells and patchy cloud, there is a small possibility we could get a session in.

I have checked the weather and it's crystal clear 22 degrees ;-)

Good, good, now nobody buy anything astro related!

[Soupy]

Yep, it is crystal clear at 22° we are at 53° with cloud!

[mapstar]

Oh yeah I forgot that's 22 celsius and crystal clear at 34° 59' 30" N, 34° 0' 0" E ;-)

[Soupy]

I prefer 22°, that's Hawaii, anyone for some serious astronomy? 34° is the med and Iran, Iraq and Libya!

[Soupy]

I see 34° is where you'll be on holiday! Cheat!
