We had a fun time at the Star party last night. There was a guy there who had a telescope similar to ours. He was very helpful & showed me a lot of different things...now I just need to remember it all!
A quick share before I finally fall asleep!
First picture of the moon!
Video...it took about 1 minute & 38 seconds for the moon to move out of view. Our scope has a clock motor...I need to look up it's actual name...anyway we set the scope up at true north, the man that was helping me had a power pack he let me use. then when you plug it in, it will track what you're looking at and keep it in your view. Without that feature turned on anything I was looking at would move out of view as shown in this video.I had to keep readjusting the scope until I plugged it in, it did an amazing job.
