I use my small reflector with the home made piggy back mount for my DSLR just about every clear night i get. Especially more so on New Moon clear sky weekends, i make time, cancel all appointments

. Now i have a 50mm f1.8 nifty fifty, i am always keen to see what it can pick up. I observe in my backyard, the South East skies are reasonably dark as Adelaide is to my North East and i am about 30-40kms out of the city. I have a dark site 300kms from home on the Yorke Penninsula. It is pretty much out of Adelaides light pollution. The difference is incredible to the naked eye, then i view through my 76mm reflector and see so many more stars. Although i think i need to do a colmination test as i dont think its performing as well as it should. And lately the view in the EP has gone smudgy after i tried to clean the main mirror, secondary mirror and EPs

Cant wait for the day when i own a nice Dob for viewing and Refractor for images...i want both
Heres to clear skies and New Moons
