At long bloody last I’ve been out with my scope! It’s been months of light nights or nights were I had to get up early for work etc! And tonight was the night I was coming back from the pub and noticed the bright moon as soon I got in a set the scope up, was brill still don’t really know what I’m doing but managed to get the moon in focus and used the all lenses that came with the scope I don’t think they are the best! But I did get some good detail of the craters, I have a moon filter but still found it quite bright but I’m putting that down the to fact I was in my garden and the bloody secuirty light kept coming on and off my eyes couldn’t adjust! But was a good start now the nights and starting to draw in I’m going to give it another go soon, I live near a river so will take it down there, As it’s not near many houses etc! I took some rubbish picS with my iPhone!! Any tips would be great lol 

 

thanks

Waiting is frustrating and photos through the eyepiece I find difficult. I hear good things about the 130 so it must be a good price of kit. The eyepieces can be improved on no doubt but it’s got you up and running that’s the main thing.
