My first night was a shocker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Almost through it all away there and then. Venus was high in the south western sky and i couldn't focus correctly, using a 2x Barlow lens with a 4mm EP, wasnt the right thing either, considering I was using a small 60mm refractor.
But we all learn from our mistakes. With in the next few weeks, with a heap of research on what i was using, I was able to spot Saturn (my first planet properly seen), Pleiades, Southern Cross, and so on so fourth.
With the small scope i was able to learn the sky well and then making the leap to a 10' Dob made me appreciate the skys a lot more.
