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!!

hey im a newbie too and im feeling ya vibes, im sooo hooked too make sure u set ya alarm and get up about 5:30am and check out jupiter she is so beautiful
