Hello astro-pals, finally a clear night after weeks of waiting, I couldn't wait to lug the dob out back for examining the bright gibbous moon!
First time I got to use the moon filter, it sure was bright, I was definitely seeing spots after trying out the 25mm ep. I managed to take a couple of okay pics with my point-and-click camera thru the lens too (okay okay, not very good astrophotography but hey).
I am still no closer to seeing Saturn's rings tho...
