hello friends,
Today was my first viewing with my new 8" dob. I knew the moon is amazing and I have photographed quiet often with my 400D but man it got even more awesome when you look through a telescope.... just wow..... me and my wife were amazed by the moon view through the telescope.....we saw it today evening at 8.40pm, adelaide from our backyard, and yes with the EP, i had my eye very close to it and saw the moon....saw each and every detail - the craters and all which were not so visible with the photographs that I take since the subject is very bright.....later sometime I'll post the moon images i have taken using my 400D and today later in the night I'll try and capture a photo through the dob.
The 25mm EP has a good field of view as compared to the 9mm which is good for details as it magnifies more...I'm waiting for my barlow to arrive which will magnify it further....
Just quickly I did see Rigel and Canopus through the scope and even after fine focussing they looked nearer and magnified, but they still looked the same....is that correct ? Should they look any different ?
thanks
