Clouds and rain

Clouds and rain are all there is in the sky at the moment. Now I have my power pack and telescope all set to go but have to wait for the clear skys. Even bought some bug off, all prepared.

I have a question. I have seen so many pics of different colours of planets. To see these stars and planets come up coloured in a natrual state when viewing in the scope, do I have to have filters?

Hi Sandra,

Just buying the powerpack and telescope has ensured that you will have rain it is all relative to how much you spent.

As to colour in the pictures you have been looking at that is a result of the camera's ability to render the colours by doing longer exposures and pick up the colours that our eyes can't.

You will get some colour in the planets and some stars but not in nebular and other sky objects.

I'm about 3km from you in Hoxton park and I'm looking at the same clouds.
