Finally a clear night to use the telescope

I think this was just out of focus. It is so hard to nail the focus:

But you still got the bands

But you still got the bands

Yeah, but I want to see the little eddies in the bands. It might be nearly impossible with my scope though. Everything has to be 100% perfect.

Can you get a shot of the space station?

I will check the web for that telescope model you posted.

I have a cheap DSLR always wanted to delve into Astrophotography

How would the quality be of that? Relatively speaking, it’s not that far away right?

No, but it's moving fast.

There’s a old guy in my club who’s primary hobby is tracking and photographing satellites and other objects in LEO. He has some good photos of the ISS. Ill try to find them and post.

This is an awesome shot. Where do you live because I wanted to get a telescope but I live near NYC and light pollution is an issue here

Just turn the lights of bro.

Definitely moons. You can't see the rings from here.

I see a Nazi base on one, and some sort of alien technology on the other

You really took that?

 

[rj144]

You really took that?

Yeah. Should be able to do a lot better next time too.

 

[BearGrounds]

What's a good beginners telescope? I'm interested in getting one because the skies here are good for it.

Thanks in advance.

 

[genecop]

Yeah. Should be able to do a lot better next time too.

Wow, incredible..
