I'am excited

You will notice in my Signature I have a new second hand scope. I couldn't get focus with my 10" Dob with the LPI but with the new scope I have focus on a distant building for a test now I just have to learn to use the GEM or better still get a goto tracking mount for it and I can get into some serious imaging well serious for a beer budget:P:rofl:. I know it is only a photo of a shed wall but I was thrilled to get it in focus I didn't get it real focused but that was only because I was too excited that it worked:D

[ballaratdragons]

Hmmm, must focus better coz it's an 'Astonimical' scope :poke: :P

but seriously, that is good news :thumbsup:
Those roofing nails look pretty sharp!

:lol: Sharp! Get it, sharp nails . . hahaha . . . never mind. :lol:

[renormalised]

Ah....the good ol' "corrugated" nebula!!! :):P

Can be a pretty hard target to get!!! :)

Not much more we can focus on right now...given the weather!!!.

Oh the site of roof metal.. Just think that stuff may end up a telescope one day. :lol: Sharp focus but..

[supernova1965]

Good one I will endeavour to get the moon and try to track with the GEM for a few minitues and see what I can achieve but I still haven't learnt to polar align the mount and I will probably turn the dials the wrong way while trying to follow the moon.

WOW MY FIRST NEBULA:P:rofl:

Its good that you can see anything up there Warren, even if it's only a tin roof :lol:
Well done :thumbsup:
Cheers

[Rick Petrie]

Were you in your underwear whilst looking at that roof?:lol:

[supernova1965]

Well it couldn't help to be anything but clean after all the rain hey Suzy:D:rofl:

[supernova1965]
