Wow! I had to sit up till 2am lastnight, but was determined to see juipter, was very pleased and I got to see 3 moons but Jupiter diddnt have any detail may be because there was some thin cloud around and it was rising over near the city. Was hopeing to see some banding but maybe I never will with my equipment, I am using my 114mm-9000mm Bushmaster eq mount with a 2x Barlow 12mm lens. I have now been given a Meade DS-2114S goto scope {some moto problems}with bad collimination problems 114mm-1000mm short barrel with inbuild barlow in lens [thanks for on of the guys on this site pointing out the difference] I have been practising my collimination skills on the Meade
getting there I think. All this cheap equipment is makeing me want a DOB even more, the thing is I want to take photo's in the long run if I get a DOB some say it is possible.
Loved the recent photo of the nebula fantastic colours, you guys are great on the photographing just enjoy looking at the new pic's listed.
