hey all just back from a night out , my 3rd night out with my first scope!
thought id just share my great night out
and tonight was awsome
my first night i saw saturn and w0w i was addicted!
my second night i saw saturn again and also the orion nebula , tho was very faint and really black and white and blurry.

tonight there was no moon so i had a bit of troubles getting my bearings right and setting up the finderscope, never ended up getting it all correctly aligned
However by sheer chance i managed to find the orion nebula, and i had just been down to york-optical (sydney) earlier today and bought my self a set of filters.

I put in a blue filter on my 20mm eye piece and w0w the orion nebula just look out of this world!!
Detail was excellent! nice and clear image!!

Astronomy will defiantly be life long hobby 4 me , im HOOKED!
