Peco4321 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 It's been a while but here's some fairly recent shots of my kids preparing for a school project. Early hours for Jupiter, which you can just see, and a nice widefield of Orion 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin StCleeve Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 That second shot's a smasher! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooth_dr Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Clouded over after a mist rolled in. But I got enough cloud free sky to capture a couple of subs (first light) and get the OAG focused and working. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice thought, but my two dogs are banned from the observatory. Problem is, they're greyhounds, heads often at eyepiece/camera height, of little brain, and prone to bumping into telescopes in the middle of 15 minute subs...

lukebl Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 After what seems like months of leaden skies, I'm finally out in the obsy! Here's my roll-away Tardis Obs and 200mm Newt ready to go. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Just popped out this evening to see the Lunar X and V. The TAL Alkor ‘Light thimble’ was used at x33, initially and both features showed very clearly even at that low mag. At x88 and even x133 the views were very nice indeed, amazing given the tiny aperture. Anyway here are some pictures of the scope doing its thing. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Before the premature clouds arrived this evening I was observing the Moon with my TMB/LZOS 130mm F/9.2 tripet. Really lovely views at 270x. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dwarfer Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The set up from a couple of nights ago - trying out Baader Binoviewers on the Moon in the 200P for the first time In short , my jaw hit the ground at the 3D , HD Moonwalk experience - these things really should be renamed " Moonwalkers " Using a couple of lightweight MA eps because it was on an ST80 beforehand Had to use a 1.5 x lens cell from a Celestron Barlow to get focus 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvariablestarx Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My picture is a little boring, but it is of my 8 inch Dob. Note the high tech "counter weight" I use on my scope, it's a steel wrench stuck on with magnets. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dwarfer Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Trying to get used to this EQ3-2 mount that came bundled with the Mak - the slow Mo controls works a treat once set up - but it can be a bit of a kerfuffle to make the bigger adjustments / change targets Here's the set up from last night taken while on M13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiponJas Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Had a pleasant evening sat having a nice view of M51 with my son.. Only took this picture as I was about to pack away. Wouldn't dare use the flash otherwise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavStar Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 This is a pic of my nightvision monocular ready for action. Of course normally I’d just hold the thing and sweep the sky but to be able to do widefield 1x phone photos I need to mount it to keep it completely still for 10 secs... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
