My first Astrophot - sort of :)

The moon at 20:41 on 29/05/2009. Hand held with my little Olympus FE-230 into a 14mm TV Radian on the AP152. A slight tweak in photoshop for contrast. Have to try the SPC900 out next Smile

Hi cosmic, good news about your observatory, post some pictures maybe, in construction as well as finished.

Observatory

If you saw the construction it would put you off building one for life Very Happy
Seriously I am sunburned all over the back of my neck and ears and arms I'm in agony Crying or Very sad

I ache in parts you shouldn't ache, needed copious supplies of Magners
and a barbie to keep spirits up.

The roof is hinged to fold back and I was in a quandary to find something flexible to cover the hinges prior to putting roof felt on. Visited bike shop opposite ang got 3 inner tubes which are now slit and make 6foot x 5 inches rubber strips. Excellent! Very Happy
