That’s a nice image of the waning moon with your 130mm
An unusual angle view of Tyco as well
Well done !!

First ever you say, wow, indeed, :eyepop: you should have seen mine 40 years ago, i loved it but not as clear and crisp as your image, well done.

It only gets better from here,;)

Thanks to all.
We are indeed looking forward to doing more photography in the future.
It seems odd that ever since we bought the scope there appears to be more cloudy nights than anything else.

Oh oh, welcome to the world of Astro ! Cloud coverage is directly linked to astronomy sales. Nothing attracts more cloud than a new Astro purchase.

good start, you don't track with images of the Moon it is too bright and simple to shoot without
