Hey

Thanks for the replies. Just finished looking again. Saturn is a bugger to keep in the scope, probably cause I'm using a eq2 which I am still learning to use.
Jupiter is a lot higher and stays in focus longer and I was quite surprised how much the moons had moved!

Its a D=130 F=1000 eq2 with a clock drive attachment, I haven't used this yet

I'm using a 2xBarlow with a 10mm eyepiece .

Can't wait to see nebula etc.

Thinking tonight I will drive out a bit to a darker spot to try and see those nebula etc as later on I would like to photograph what I'm seeing.

Anyways having fun so that's the first step

Troy
