Right on - nice spot to check out! Meant to say nice scope btw. And thanks man. Good to see you're still here! not my scope, wish it was. that's several thousand $$$ of scope when you add the auto-tracking and computerised aiming.

what's that green line coming down there? High-powered laser for spotting/targeting. (: Quite handy for astronomy. correct! we were looking at the hercules globular cluster, iirc! this shot is nothing but long exposure. oh, and welcome back skytree!

I think this is the first time I opened the gate on this thread and had a mooch about, this photo is unbelievable. I cannot imagine the rush you must get from actually being there, seeing and witnessing this and then having this photo as a reference point for the rest of your life. I've seen some halcyonic night skies myself, but you know it's depressing to a degree that those pictures in my mind gradually blunt with age, I wish I had photos like this to record those moments, so they remain crystal clear. Great photo man. amazing... awwww it was an amazing night, and i'll be attending their star parties in the future for sure!

kaini: "holy shit a meteorite! its a meteorite! i'm actually looking at a meteorite!" eyepiece expert: "pfsh, big fuckin' deal" its like watmm irl pretty much. we had two old dudes (in their seventies, lifelong members) sighting stars through the boxy wooden dob i posted above like it wasn't a big deal. no laser sight, just... 'oh, andromeda? just a bit up and to the left of the second star in the plough.' they knew every inch of the sky, incredible shit.

the highlights of the night for me were seeing a meteorite through the eyepiece (i got very excited, but apparently it's quite common), and viewing andromeda and the veil nebula (pics below not from the starparty) - we also looked at loads of globular clusters, the dumbbell nebula, and uranus and neptune (nebulae are much more impressive than those planets): ]

additional gratuitous star pictures

very long exposure in a place with absolutely zero light pollution (the burren) the telescope is a 20 inch dobsonian reflector with an auto-guide servo. very very expensive bit of kit. here's another shot from the same night. the milky way was so visible it was fucking nuts. we also had this beautiful old girl out for the night, a 12 inch dob reflector which must be at least 25 years old.

i quite like that

correct. i'd give your comment a strong 8.
-
you don't like it. that's fine. what's not fine is blanket statements like "if you think it's good, you're wrong". that just makes you look like a cunt. music appreciation is a 100% subjective thing.
