Thanks Alan.
Took this out last night to finally have a go.
Before I say the following, will preface it by saying most likely aware I will have answered my own questions, perhaps point out what im doing wrong.
Taking into account:
- Very light but still present breeze
- Location in SE Suburbs of Melbourne (not close to the city) but slight light pollution
- Time - around 10.30 pm (after letting the tele temp equalize after half an hour)
- Realistic expectations of details - planets/nebula
Only got a view no different than what you would get with a set of binoculars.
Had the kit 10 eyepiece on the barlow.
Someone able to point out what I may be doing horribly wrong?
Definitely will have a look at going along to one of the nights at MPAS.
