Scotts Telescope adventrues

[Scott Murray]

Well I am back from Vietnam and the first thing I do is set up my telescope that I just got. Hopefully I will get some time to play in the near future.

Wow ... I see a whole new dimension coming up.
Can't wait to see the results

It is going to be a learning curve thats for sure

Cool set-up, looking forward to seeing some photos of little green men on Mars!

 

[Deezey]

Dude. You are my hero. I so wish I had the funds to do this!

And just curious....but new watermark?

 

[Rick M]

I'm glad you can now answer a few questions for us! Cheese, man on the moon, green martians (or any color will do). Try to find a flag on the moon, I'd like that whole conspiracy theory put to rest .

Scott can you see Pandora yet, i am trying to get home, ET had it easy lol

looking forward to seeing some shots

 

[Vixen]

Not that it really means much to me at this point but what sort of magnification do you get with that telescope? Can't wait to see the moon up close

Congrats Scott.
I have a Celestron scope as well, but seem to have lost all accessories & everything apart from the scope & the tripod..
They don't seem to stock on spare parts here...
Good luck & i will join you sooner or later

Focal length is 1325 so not huge by any means.

Lets see what I can or can't do

Congratulations Scott, you will have a great time using that - I used to have a 130 SLT Celestron. One warning, from my experience - When you are supposed to be at work in the morning, and it starts getting light, then it's time to pack up for the night!

She showed me her box one time while on liberty in Germany, but I had to pass. No telling where that box had been!

Cheers mate, I am out at work right now so dont have access to my gear. But on my days off I will be looking for a dark sky area and testing her out.

 

[Woodyg3]

Pretty damn cool, Scott!

Cheers mate I am hoping to get out next week and do some testing, I do know that a dslr with battery pack is way to heavy for the motor so I may need to use my D600 only, or D800e but even then she struggles.

 

[patrick in memphis]

hi scott, a dslr may be too heavy. i'm unsure if you can add counter weight to an alt/az mount...say maybe on the front of the scope?if anyones interested i can throw videos on here too.you could prob do a piggyback mount on ur scope.
