1st attempt at AP

[MND]

Yeah I know, not properly but if you can do that holding a smart phone over the eyepiece then I really can't wait to get a camera......

Which eyepiece used here?

[MND]

32mm plossl from the Celestron eyepiece kit. It's basically the one I use the most, I love the wide views it gives of the skies.

Really nice image, well done , especially with a phone ... Which phone was it ?

[Carina Lass]

That's how I got hooked as well - now I'm out 3000 dollars

nice 1st image! welcome to the world of astrophography

[MND]

Was a Samsung Galaxy.

I really want to get into AP, it fascinates me. I've posted here before about what to do but just can't make up my mind what to buy or which way to go.

Money isn't too much of a stumbling block but starting from scratch I have so much to buy and so little knowledge! I shall most likely buy an ED80, laptop and CCD of some kind.

Give me your address, I'll help you spend some money

So it begins....

Good luck

Great image. The samsung is not a bad camera given it's limitations but as with the above, slippery slope.......
