July 07, I saw a great view of Saturn coming from behind the Moon, it may not sound to much but it was a great view to see the two planets together.<br />2.September 07, The Andromeda Galaxy M31 one of the brightest deep sky <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">objects Also</span> Jupiter and 5 of its many moons.<br />3. One of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">the best</span> thing I have seen <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">up to</span> yet is while viewing the Moon a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">satellite</span> pasted right over the face of it, I was like a kid watching a Star wars Film.<br />4.The New year was spent in Mid Wales and the night sky was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">fantastic</span>, The sight of the Milky way was just mind blowing, they say for every grain of sand on the planet there are a million stars, I think I saw them all !!I must add for my reference also that I had my first attempt on the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">CCD</span> Camera without any joy but have to also say there was no Moon out to practice on ?Salad Swerverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17868631689018079065noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483173892809735431.post-13669141260293771852008-01-23T03:59:00.000-08:002008-01-23T04:00:39.424-08:00I began scoping in May 07, slowly seeing the bigger <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">picture as</span> to what it was all about.My first thoughts were ''So you look at the Moon, Then what ?''However I now see that the stars and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">solar</span> system are the very building blocks of life, opening your eyes to the fact that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">everything</span> that we are all came from a star, the ground we walk on the Gold we drape from us and even the calcium in our body, all came from a star.The grip that this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">hobby</span> or way of life can have on you is never ending and over a period of time I hope to show my progression from '' so you look at the moon,then what ?'' <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">to Wow</span>, look what I saw''Salad Swerverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17868631689018079065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483173892809735431.post-70901428982452088062008-01-22T05:24:00.000-08:002008-01-23T03:54:32.174-08:00I Can See The Moon17.01.08<br />Taken with a 5'' Sky Watcher Refractor<br />Antaers Diagnol<br />And Neximage CCD<br /><br />This was my first attempt at astrophotograghySalad Swerverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17868631689018079065noreply@blogger.com0
