Thanks everyone!   I'll try and pop in as often as I can....... I guess I have way to many hobbies and forums, all though I really like gazing  at the stars.

As I said I'm just starting out in this hobby. I have a Orion Star Blast  4.5 EQ .  Like  everyone that starts a new hobby its my "starter scope". I have up graded it just a little  with a 6X30 right angle spotting scope, a  Shorty Barlow and I bought a  Microsoft Life Cam  Studio web cam to do some astrophotography.  I need a adapter to get it going, anybody got any suggestions?

I found out that I need to get the observatory built right away because of my cats milling around my feet and the shaking of my deck while using the telescope.

I have the base poured for the scope mount, and today I start building the floor joist and floor.

The "jda"  part of my handle  stands for John Deere "A"  (another hobby)

Again, thanks everyone for the warm welcome, that's what a good forum is all about!  jdadoug
