Hello from Adelaide.
I am a complete novice to astronomy. I've had my Heritage 130 dob for a month or so checking & puzzling over all sorts of things. Including spending hours and hours internet and equipment searches. Yeah, it's obsessive
and my family are beginning to avoid me
but mucho FUN for me
Modest achievements to date:
Jupiter and moons! Lots of lovely wide views, with no CA like my roof prism binos give.
Saturn with rings. Only two days ago I managed to get my first view of the rings
Mars with naked eye abt 5 days ago. A big, bright golden/orange object
Astonishing view of Venus with naked eye in mid March about 5am.
Catch you all at the next post
when I discuss my bugbears.. Until then happy observing with (hopefully) clear skies.
Claire.
