I am totally chuffed because it looks big and important and it has been given to me for nowt, yea!
But of course I don't have a clue what I am doing. to begin with I see myself pointing it at the moon, but what I would like to do is get a picture of my results.
I have a Nikon D50 and no idea what I am doing. Is there like a Nikon mount adaptor thing to plug onto this telescope to allow me to get a shot? Or am I in a world of hope?  |
All I can say is fantastic

Jupiter is the bright star in the south east sky from about midnight, take a look , it's awsome and you can see it's 4 moons if they are not occulting with the planet, and it's breath taking when one of the moons comes out from behind the planet
