Thanks, looks like something to save up for. Conditions were pretty good last night after several days of too many clouds. Had a good look at Venus, then after it got dark the Orion Nebula was amazing. Saw a massive shooting star (not through the telescope), probably the biggest I've seen. Went right across half the sky low down and horizontally in a second or two, very bright with a huge long tail that fanned out.
Just for fun I had a go at taking a few pics through the eyepiece with my hand held point and shoot camera. Not ideal I know, but was interested to see how it would go. Only picked up a small part of the nebula, it was much bigger and better through the scope.
