I got to look at the moon this morning (0530) using the 30mm and it was crystal clear and great, I could see the ridges of craters on the moons horizon and also a lot of detail of the surface. I then tried a few different combinations of the lenses I've got and none worked at all, had to fight to get the image to stay in sight and them it was blurry and wouldn't focus. Tried a star and got it to a pin prick light, but that;s about all as the star just happened to be in my filed of vision when tracking the moon. So I expect it's a long way away. I'll try some planets in the next few nights once I can work them out and see how it goes.
So thanks again and I will persevere with this and the 30mm until I know what I want and can afford it. I can also see I will have to get some equipment that take photos and can connect to my computer. I checked the for sale stuff on the site, but don't have a clue what to choose. So I had better do a lot of reading and learn the jargon and equipment. Anyone know a good linux program for telescopes.
