Chronos, yes, I am also satisfied with the results. Not bad for the first attempt. Though the images are taken with a 14mega pixel camera, they are not good when zoomed in because of the bad focus.. I could not get the focus right. And I was able to take only one picture of the Jupiter, even...
Hey.. I have had some success with the scope lately.. attached are some photos.. not so clear but they are alright.. :) First two are Moon obviously.. third of them is Jupiter..
Chronos, thanks for the Sunglasses idea.. i will give it a try..
and yes.. magintude 10 is what i am expecting even though the limit of the scope is 12.8..
Hey gliese, 7293 has magnitude of 13.5 and I don't think I can see anything of it with my scope. It has a limit of 12.8.
Probably I will try to get more of Jupiter and if my camera ring is delivered then try to get some photos as well.
Oh btw I am from uk, live about 50miles north of London.
Hey Gliese, I see that you quite south of Sweden.. hey if you buying something try ebay, get a used one to save some money..
Staying alone is what I like when I am watching the sky.. thanks for the offer to camp.. will try.. :)
I have got my scope yday.. and damn it was a very cloudy day...
Hi Gliese, thanks for the warm welcome.
I usually come out at night and keep staring at the sky.. it always amazed and amused me.. so I thought why not stare at it with a bit more tech.. I will be getting my scope tomorrow.. will test and let you know how it is..
hey.. which part of Sweden...

Yeah.. the description on the link i gave was very vague and 675x zoom was inappropriate as well..
i am not rushing into astrophotography.. just was reading about it.. and thought to myself.. "i have the camera, i bought the scope and all i need is an...
HI Chronos.. the telescope is also known as 114EQ... it has a 4.49" objective and a 900mm focal length.. optimum zoom is 225...
I read turbo's beginners guide to buying a telescope.. but couldn't convince myself to buy a pair of binos..
for the money i have seen a 10x50 binos.. if I am not...
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...
