Cool pics

Have not tried to photo anything yet... the moon and venus were nice and clear for a while during a break in the cloud!

... actually you are not that far away from Dawn and I if i remember correctly... Chichester? We are in Lancing, near Worthing... it's a small world!

that's right, Worthing - ridiculouly close.....

i may get out there with my zoom lens tomorrow. I am too tired and hungry to do that now and cold will make me hungrier!

Those are great pics mo2!! you can clearly see that Venus isn't round on them!!!

The best thing about he moon is that each night you go and look out its different - its not at its best at the moment but by day 7-8 some really interesting features start appearing - should be a decent night - may be too windy for pics though

what exposure time am i looking for to catch the moon tonight?

[Dawn]

I've been out and bought myself a nice warm ski jacket today.

[Britchick]

cool you'll need layers too! what time you going out? and what you planning to see?

[Skywatcher]

no set exposure times - just have a play

[Skywatcher]

ooo oo remember to put the scope outside for an hour or so to cool off - makes a diffrence to the wobbliness of what you see

[Britchick]

conservatory ok?

[Dawn]

Going to try out camera on tripod tonight too.
