I got my new telescope today. Left work early to hurry home and assemble it.. only to realize it's going to be overcast all weekend.
Screw you Weatherman!

Yes, it works with a number of different programs. I'm trying Starry Night now. It auto tracks on it's own also. I'm thinking about this once I get comfortable with it. Just wish the weather wasn't so crappy...ughJenspm wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

I have a question. Do these nubulae etc.. actually look really colourful or is that just false colouring done by computers. I've always wondered that, because I remember reading somewhere that it was false colouring, you know to represent the different gasses. As alot of them are colourless. I need to look into this more.
edit: I see, the gas is ionized by the stars around it. Hmm, I should've noticed that. Maybe they do look like that in real life.

Nice rig cat
With amateur scopes they are mostly false. Definitely not as vibrant. Even hubble uses a combination of different methods to pick up and illustrate what the "visible light" should look like.Mek-Izzle wrote:

Examples from my scope (ETX-125pe). http://www.meade.com/photogallery/etx_gallery.html The astro-phographers there are way more talented than I am.
