Hi All,
I am an enthusiast and love the sky... always wanted to develop the hobby to observe the sky, but here in UK we have very narrow period of clear skies during the year.. however this year I have decided to start doing it anyway..
Found a near by bunch of enthusiasts who meet once a month to discuss and show off their gadgets and photos.. So I will be joining them soon in the next meet.. they have a good observatory with a 12" GOTO Meade telescope free for members use..
Budget perspective I didn't want to spend more than 100quid.. so after reading few reviews ordered this one..Celestron PowerSeeker 675 here http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-0114.aspx ; have read mixed reviews about it.. bought it anyway, can return it if I don't like it..
Will be using some sky maps and Google sky on the phone to spot the celestial bodies.. but the first object I would like to see would be the moon.. up close and personal :).. then mars, saturn and Jupiter when they show mercy on me :)..
Not sure if can spot any faint objects with this one, but i will give it a try..
Also I have got a Olympus e500 dslr.. but not sure if I can get a T-mount to attach it to the telescope to take any photos.. please help me here..
Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions in advance...
