Yeah, where to buy one though?! I checked eBay.. only ones are from China?
It is brilliant living there, I'm more near Silvan which is even better. 
But yes, I have spent a few nights finding deep space objects but I haven't been successful. Still trying to find M31 and the Crab Nebula amongst others. I'll have to find some specific spots! Where abouts in Lake Mountain? Do you just park wherever or find a certain 'IIS' secret spot or something?
Thanks! |
Hi Adam, just thought I'd let you know that M31 is basically gone and will return at the end of October. Also, the crab is a hard target at times. have you tried more readily accessible targets that are high in the sky like LMC (and the Tarantula Nebula contained therein?) or the globular cluster Tuc 47 in Tucana just to the lower right of the SMC? M42 in Orion? Much better targets, all very beautiful. Clear skies.
