I've been out every night since I got it. Surprisingly enough its been cloudless every single night - strange...
Funny you should mention the imaging.. I um.. err.. put the Digital camera up to the eyepiece to see how it would work. Took a nice picture of the moon.... quick someone stop me before I get to the point of no return..
I am thinking filters at the moment - something nice for Jupiter and Saturn. Wratten 80A? I didn't realise how fast the planets move through the scope at 10mm with a 2x barlow.. I almost have to have a constant hand on the scope to keep up with the planet..someone needs to slow the earth down..
But yes the fun is there - I'm still at the point where I am willing the sun to go down every night so I can start the stargazing. I can see withdrawl symptons ahead if it ever clouds up.
Tried looking for centaurus A tonight - but gave up with the moon too bright.
