Is it me, the moon or my scope?
So I finally had a chance to take my new telscope out this morning (SkyWatcher Heritage 130p) while the kids and hubby were sleeping. It didn't take me long to line it up with a star, but what I saw in the eye piece wasn't what I expected. There was a white circle, which I'm guessing was just the whole primary mirror reflecting light, with a shadow from the secondary mirror. I tried three different stars to make sure it wasn't light coming from somewhere else and each time it did the same thing.
So this leaves me to wonder, is it me, the moon or my scope?
I should also add that the moon was on the other side of y house, so I didn't cop a lot of light from it.
