SteelRat Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We dragged the Tal1STL(t) out last night. Clear night :shock: Pretty windy at times but at least there was a decent gap in the clouds. Got wrapped up in my warm gear and had a really nice night. I hope you folks had a chance to get out too.Right then... tiny planets eh? Phone pics of course Got one of Mars at mag x161, and this morning I got one of Saturn. I was pushin the mag with Saturn but can't remember if it was the x3 or x4 barlow with the 10mm PL (should've written it down I know ) so it was either at mag x242 or x322. I think it was the x4 but x322 seems abit much don't it? Handheld? Not quite this time. Had a lacky band from the top of the phone to the red dot while I held the bottom of the phone. Had the shutter on 5 second timer. Did the trick but - what a complete faff! Ah well... here's the Tiny Planets;Brought the lappy with it's nice new screen outside for a test run earlier on - with my webcam that I'm glad I didn't sell. Got my second ever toucam image! Like the first one of Saturn last season; it ain't good but I'll stick it in the planetary section in a mo anyhoo CheersMatthew(SR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelRat Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Heheheh Always chuffed with the performance of this lil' scope. With me n the phone involved I'm happy that Mars turned out circular(ish) Saturn's easier - we get to practice at it more often Thanks guysMatthew(SR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
