With summer nights, we have been starting later as it isnt getting really dark until 2230 onwards, however I am setting up my scope when its light, which secretly, deep down, I really enjoy, as I dont often get to see it during the day set up.
A Day shot, its nice sometimes!
Of course, the main talking point was Waynes new toy, hes managed to get himself a Skywatcher 10" Dobsonian scope, so we now have two scopes set up each night we go out. He did go for the manual model, so aiming proved a little tricky sometimes and tracking objects can be a bit a cumbersome, but when things are brought into view it does a nice job showing you what your trying to look at!
Waynes new toy, Thats Wayne hiding his now night vision tuned eyes from the camera flash.
Wayne borrowed my red dot finder, leaving me with a rather large 9x50 finder scope. For the record, I love my red dot finder!
Of course with all this equipment laying around, we have another go at getting some piccys, not as good as the moon shots, but still, an attempt of sorts. The next two shots are attempts at taking shots, the first one is a rather poor saturn, not being able to hold to camera still for long periods of time we clearly didnt allow the shutter to stay open long enough. The 2nd shot was admittedly easier to take as it didnt need much time to take. Its an attempt on taking a shot on Vega, a bright star to the east in Lyra.
A couple things of note, my friend Matt, or Jumile whos sites been linked a few times in other posts has moved domains, well tell a lie, it has its own domain! So I shall relink, http://hurtlingthroughspace.com/ if you do want to pop along and have a look at his site. Secondly, I have to say, Blogspots online editor sucks. But that aside, I shall try my best and remain steadfast! More to come, as that say!

A 10" Dobs? Nice one! Good luck trying astrophotography with it. I think you'll find it's "just" awesome for viewing objects with the eye, rather than trying a camera attachment. Still... if the exposure is quick enough, you could always stack up a bunch of frames.
ReplyDeleteSomething like that is second on my priority list -- after a decent equatorial mount. But as it will cost 2-3 times what I've already paid, it can wait a little while. :)
