Hi all, noob with a scope !

[Shaddex]

Hi all,

I had a "Cheap" scope about 5 years ago that gets taken out once in a while, and after looking at Jupiter + Moons over the weekend ive decided to upgrade to a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ-MD, so that I may actually see detail rather than blubs of white light.

Hopefully I can get my webcam attached and then get some astrophotography done with my daughter (11) who LOVES looking at the night sky.

Based in Biddulph North Staffs btw

Look forward to clear skies and hot thermos's

Welcome to the forum, wishing you many great nights stargazing with your daughter.

My boy's still a bit young (only 4), so I'm trying to get a bit of knowledge myself to pass on when the time is right !

Hello and welcome to the forum

What a good way to spend quality time with your daughter ... mine is only 5 but already looking through the scope and spends a lot of time in Stellarium If you do not have this installed yet, get it for free. It is a great way to keep learning on cloudy nights

Clear skies

Hello and welcome from another newbie - My daughter is only 7 and she is always asking for me to get the scope out, but i work away a lot and in yorkshire we dont get many clear skies. We live on top opf a hill so when the sky is clear we get some amazing views.

As yourself I'm wanting to get my scope hooked up to video, i have the gear, yet again its time and learning the capture aspects.

Enjoy your stay and love the hobby
