Guest 127SLT Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi. I have been into astronomy properly since January 2011. I started with a Skywatcher 200PDS on an EQ5 mount, but soon lost it to my husband who decided to start doing astrophotography. I then got a Celestron 127SLT (hense the user name!). We have just purchased a Coronardo PST. The idea being that the sky must be visible sometime during 24 hours!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I have a Coronado PST, too. Amazing little thing it is but I'm having trouble doing webcam imaging with it, due to limited focus travel. I'd like to see you and your OH's photos. My wife is (unfortunately) a non-astronomer but did find it interesting seeing the Moon on a PC screen from a webcam. I'm a night and day astronomer, too but can often find the twilight hours unproductive unless the Moon or Venus are about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
