lucky beggar! I've been waiting and waiting for the supposed clear spell since 3pm.

Still waiting now, as I have something I want to try for widefield imaging.

If the clear spot doesnt come soon, I'll be in the hot tub and will miss it anyway....

Did you get any pics? or just visual?

[markenroj]

pics in my head just visual , imaging sounds a bit complicated yet for me but would like to get into that. :saturn:

[Tim]

dont believe what they say, its a piece of cake. You can get decent pics just by whacking your camera on the end of your eyepiece. You can even borrow my camera attacher thingy if you like!!

What kit do you have?

[markenroj]

the only camera i have is a kodak 7mega pixel digital camera.

have you tried taking pics through the eyepiece?

[markenroj]

yes but its hard to get the image in the centre of camera.

[Tim]

do you want to borrow my adapter thingymajig?

It fastens over the ep, and the cam has up down sideways etc options. Very basic, but I have used it for attaching my camcorder to the tube.

Think the adapter I bought was about 30 quid from D hinds.

I got it to attach my little handycam to the eyepiece before I got a webcam.

The pics are ok, considering.
