Thanks Peter :-). I think the thing about this whole thing for me is doing it myself. I haven't managed to get planetary astrophotography properly happening as yet, but I'll get there. For some reason the iTelescopes thing, though doubtless useful to some, feels a bit like cheating to me. I kinda like having problems to solve and tinkering. And planetary has quite a different set of challenges, but it's interesting.
But yeah Covid, At some point everyone will be vaxxed and it will just be a bit of a flu, and everyone can go back to licking doorhandles and rolling in the gutter or whatever it was we did in the before-times. :-)

Maybe (if you 've got the cash) try itelescopes.
Turns out they have an offer where you can try for free.
I had a laugh yesterday.
The surf was on and there was 20 cars parked out front at 6AM.
All rules broken, standing around, no masks, no distancing, cops in bed?
Me: 'Hi boys, hope you have waterproof masks' laughter...
To your image:
I know that planetary is a lot harder than it looks.
Good for you Markus and well done  |
