Hello all,

Went out tonight even though the weather wasn't the best, but boy was I impressed as to what to expect on a good night.

Had a look at the Moon, Messier 007, Butterfly galaxy, Jupiter just to name a few, I had a little trouble with the two star align mainly with finding the correct objects in the sky and then in the eyepiece so the goto was a little off on the first few attempts, I also did'nt realise how much I would be swaping the eyepiece's around, next time I will have them at arms reach

But it was a great first experience and cant wait for some clear and still nights
One question though, when I focused on an object it moved in the eyepiece in the direction in which I turned the focuser, is that normal?

whoohoo
