Hi everyone,

I just joined the group, I live in County Mayo... cloudy County Mayo! Originally from Nottingham and more latterly from near to Frankfurt, we moved to Mayo in November and have a good dark garden.

 

Being partially disabled, and knocking on a bit, I bought a Unistellar Equinox 2 smartscope. First night using it last and night,  under some high cloud and challenging conditions, and I did manage a half reasonable photo of M51 after several attempts. 

 

Looking forward to following your posts and to some clearer skies, but not this week for the latter lol.

Hi and welcome to EMS Alan, I'll be looking forward to seeing more images from your Unistellar smartscope 🙂 Just had a quick look at your M51, it's pretty good.

Welcome to EMS Alan 😊

 

I must confess, my Irish geography is so poor, I had to look at a map to see where County Mayo was,

having only been to Ireland once in 55 years (that was near Dublin for a wedding)

 

You must get some nice dark sky's out there when the weather does cooperate though ?

Lets hope you get to use your new scope a bit more now the weather (and temperature) is improving a bit.
