Saving Telescope position

[BudgieMac]

If I am just generally looking through my telescope and find something interesting which is not near any identifiable object. Is there a simple way that I can save the position where my scope is pointing so that I can perhaps continue viewing the following night. Perhaps using a cell phone or other attachment, Some are so small that it is not visible through my finder scope.  I have the Skywatcher 8" on a Dobsonian mount.

If you've got a Goto 'scope then you can show position and write down the RA/Dec figures.

Otherwise you can take a smartphone camera with a cheap adapter - which should give you enough stars to plate solve - and get RA/Dec off of that. Astrometry.net can do plate solving for you online.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I dont have a goto option. I did try http://nova.astrometry.net/ but got an error saying they took too long to respond. Will try again later. Cheers
