First use! :)

Whoop! i just got back inside after 2 hours of viewing. as most know, i'm a complete amateur with astronomy, and i'm really happy with my attempt. Now I admit the finder scope was probably off, and i hadn't aligned to the SCP (Still gotta get a compass) but i found jupiter, and with my ebay scope i could see the bands on it

Tried the moon, but due to living on the side of a hill i couldn't get a good enough view.

Can't wait for a better night and a compass

By the way, i'd still be outside if it wasn't for an exam tomorrow.

Stoked!

Looks like you are well and truly hooked Nick.

Sounds like you had a great viewing session Nick, you are definitely hooked now.

Keep at it mate.

Don't make excuses for your eBay scope. If it gets you going like this then its worth its weight in gold

Good to hear Nick... it only gets better from here...

Well, except for the cloud bits...
