Hi James,
I had previously bought a 12" Dob which i still have. The only thing i had to buy is the Toucam 840.(webcam).
I just set up, drop in the 2x Barlow,Focus and vwahlah!!.
I am now using a hartmanns mask to get focus(see projects and articles).
This image of Saturn is not a good one by any means. But what it does show is that rank beginners can get something!!!!.
A 5x Powermate (like a barlow) will give me a much bigger image.
But all in good time, gotta save the pennies,LOL.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the challenge, except these damn clouds.
Cheers James,
Duncan
