i have a 8" skywacher dobsonion manual what would you recomend in the way of imaging equipment for someone whos never done astrophatography befor the imaging would be mainly the planets and the moon thanks
What the hell? In the UK the only thing I can see with the naked eye is the Moon and various stars that are not notable planets of the solar system was this at a peak viewing time?
We are lucky here to have very dark skies at certain times of the year. For the next two months the sky doesn't get dark to the north. The best viewing time here is Apr.-May. and Sept.-Oct.
Here in the UK we somtimes don't even see the Moon its that Cloudy, Today the sky was completely blue but now its clouded over and I'm starting to thing my Day 2 Moon diary won't happen but I'm gonna try my best
that is way cool that you can see the top of the moon. must be because your up north more. in california we see the side of the moon. by the way i always wondered what those huge grayish spots were on the moon. any idea?
I didn't know you could see the rings around it. So Jupiter does exist outside of books!

You can use any video camera to capture your subjects, then use something like registax to stack your frames.
