WOW!
finally got to see some stars tonight and a planet. Well it looked like the moon a long long long way away.
Thanks for the definitions on all the things. It is a big help to have it explained. The finderscope is working out well now i have used the moon planet thing to aim at. The moon at the moment is coming up really late. I am surrounded by trees and have to wait for it to pass rigt above before being able to view it. I will be hunting down some places that i can go to get some horizon to horizon views from. So far from reading it seems that first thing in the morning 2-3am sounds like the best time to view but then again it depends on what you want to look at and where in the sky it will be at any given time.
Here are a few blonde questions for you all
;
1. can you view the moon in the day time and what is it like.
2. i have two eye pieces a 25mm super plossl and a 10mm. what can you expect to see with these pieces (craters on moon? rings around saturn?etc.)
3. I also have a 2" eyepiece adapter. what is this used for and why etc.
4. if i want to go deeper or have things appear larger in more detail what would you buy first to do this with my scope?
5. the cap on top of the scope has a removable 2" cap on it. What does this do?
6. in my manual it mentions making a collimation tool out of a film canister. Anyone tried this and how well does it work.
7. has anyone seen any little green men up there yet.
8. does the wind have a bad effect on the viewing.
I live in QLD Logan.
ok back to the scope.
