Had a chance to screw my Canon 650D into a 20" telescope at Siding Springs, Coonabarabran, in NSW Australia. The telescope was a private one which the owner shows people. He has 6 telescopes in which we saw Saturn with the rings,although there was not enough light for photos. 2 degrees and we were outside as the telescopes must be at the same temperature as the night to stop the light bending? but well worth the cold. Unbelievable the night was so clear and there is not allowed to be outside lights for kilometers around.
Anyway just a couple of a nebula and a spiral nebula.
Enjoy

Thanks for looking, it had been cloudy for days before but cleared up just for us! Fascinating to look up and see things that I never saw before. It's a big Galaxy but there is so much more,...........
