Thanks Michael,
There are a lot of telescopes out there and it would be good to see more images and planets/moon posted as these are not so difficult subjects as many of the DSOs.

I have to admit that while finding the right region for Uranus and Neptune is fairly easy even with my unrefined tracking capabilities...using the stock finder on the ETX to select which dot in the local group has a appearance that indicates it is probably the planet feels more like intuition rather than science! Still it is not too bad. On the other hand, the asteroids out there at the moment at magnitude 7.4 or less are much harder (for me at my level) to quickly confirm as non stellar using this beastie and I have yet to capture an image and they may be too small to be worthwhile...or may need to wait for Ceres to get close again.
