Just been out briefly to have a look at what's about, it was pretty windy so it gave me a chance to test out the anti vibration pads I made and they worked better than I thought they would which is great! the image still wobbled but it quickly subsided after 1 or 2 seconds. however I think I need to do a bit more tinkering with the focuser as its not as smooth as when I tested it the first time.
Ok so out in the garden I whizzed the telescope round to grab a look at Jupiter which was pretty amazing on a slightly blueish background I could clearly see the bands and the 4 moons :)
I saw what I thought was a bright star near the horizon so I pointed my scope at it and to my surprise I had found Venus, which was the first time I had ever seen it! (though a telescope).
I have also bought a webcam to do some astro-photography and downloaded lots of software so I will add a pictures section to my blog and add them when they come up :)
Also bought some flocking paper to flock the inside of my scope, I will put some pictures up after I have done all that but I'm sure you have all seen the inside of a flocked telescope :)
Thats all for now just a quick update
