I suggest directly in front of your digital camera! ;)

[Theninjagecko]

I used to have one too. Sadly so much cloud it got no use so sold them all.

check em out and my pics here. www.scott-h.co.uk links on the right under equipment.

i meant align the telescope to the stars using time date and gps co-ordinates

in order to make use of the computerized database of over 40000 celestial objects

Yeah I got that, it was a subtle dig at the lack of pictures in this thread ;)

Would be quite tempted to get a telescope myself, but having lived for the last 15 years in the suburbs of large cities (London, and more recently Manchester) I'm not sure I have the clear skies needed. Failing that, I'm genuinely interested to see pictures of your new toy; or at least a link to some details if you cba taking pictures :P

[Mr. Lime]

I took some but imageshack wouldnt let me upload

so i gave up for a bit

ill try again

watch this post

[Sniperdude]

I so wanted one of these last year, awesome bit of kit.

Seeing jupiter close up then seeing its moons was a great sight. Enjoy it! :thumb:

[andyn]

Looks like a quality geek toy :). Presumably you can record images onto Flash/your PC? Or does it need a digital camera to go with it?

[alex24]

That looks awesome, quite jealous!
