The post man came today and delivered a couple of new toys:
All I need now is for brother-in-law to return from a weeks holiday and for some clear skies, then we can hook my 550d upto his 8" Celestron telescope.
I don't think either of us are absolutely sure about what we will be doing, but it should be fun playing with the motorised mount and the plug in finder.
We'll have a session in the back garden first (I don't think he's ever done a polar alignment) and when we think we're getting some reasonable results, will head out for a darker sky area.
Looking at the short range weather forecast, I don't expect to be posting images in the next dew days, but be sure I will when this overcast weather eases.
