Show us your set up in action at night.

[DirkSteele]

Not mine exactly but I have accumulated about of month of stargazing with this 12" LX 200 in Namibia over the last 4 and half years.

Just realised I have a few pics of the 180mm Apo at night thanks to the BBC and their fancy night vision camera.  This was before I purchased a 12" pillar extension to raise the scope up and a 80mm finder and counterweight set to shift the balance point up so I could get off my knees!

Don't telescopes look so much better at night? I'll have to take a pic or two of mine soon...

Arty!

A 'constellation' below your feet.. 

[Peco4321]

Thought I'd add this taken while piggy backing on the scope, just noticed a satellite trail above the scope, towards the top ?

Here's my old Heq5 Pro / 150p and 250p on my current AZ EQ6 during the previous lunar eclipse.

And here's the dob at SGL 11...

Here's my 10" ready for tonight! First time in ages. Going to catch some sleep as its been a busy week and staying up till two would probably be the death of me.

Mine's out too - anxiously watching these clouds ...

[Peco4321]

No such luck here, good forecast for tomorrow night though so hopefully a few hours ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

[DaveS]

Total cloud here too.

Here's my baby at night

 

[Peco4321]

Testing out our new tent at my brothers house tonight, middle of the country, so obviously I have had to pack my scope up with me?

[Stub Mandrel]

In my dark field that wasn't very dark because of the big lump of LP orbiting some 250,000 miles to the South...

Taken with phone flash so a bit iffy...

[ChrisLX200]

Findercam view tonight, imaging... guess what? :-)

200pds on the Veil:

[StuartJPP]

Another one...look at all that LP from a nearby street light (though this is a 30 second exposure and the light isn't even enough to read from)...this is from my so-called "dark" site...

Notice M31 just above the lens...

My sky looks like the cloudy bits of your image (up to about 40-45 degrees) even when it isn't cloudy :-(

Beautiful! May I ask where is this?

Thanks ! I took it with my "point & shoot" camera at this location N 58° 34' 20.95", E 12° 14' 12.33". But I don´t use that place anymore since I found better places by the west coast.
