Hi Mike,
Thanks, I was happy when I saw some of my pictures, I've never tried before. When I saw some of the other peoples photo's I was in total awe, I love them and thought I might give it a go. Haven't been sucessful with other planets or stars though, but I am not sure whether my equipment is quite up to scratch for it, nor me, come to think of it.
I have a Nexstar SE4 and and Olypmus E300 camera, I'm not too pleased with the camera, I am not a digital person so it can be a bit confusing. I really love my manual camera's but have to keep up with the times. The thing that bothers me with my camera is once you take of the lense you loose all control of the camera so it will be trial and error with my Olympus until I find something better and or easier to understand.
Will persist though, I'm having a ball trying and this website is so much fun to read, I like to thank all the people involved with the site too, there is so much to learn but you all make is so much more fun.
