Hi Folks,
Just thought I 'd drop in here & say G'day. I live in Cairns and recently purchased a Celestron GT4. Yes I know it's a small scope, but as I spend every 2nd weekend in what is usually a dark sky location, portability & ease of use were high on the list of priorities.
I read with interest the article on astrophotography & thought " The near-full moon is washing everything else out anyway, maybe I should try it"
WOW!!! Using a handheld digital still camera held up to a 20mm Plossl EP
See the result:
