That's what I want to be able to do. Beautiful!

(I don't think I can get there with my Tamron, or even my spotting scope. )

I was going to play with my 5" SCT last night but decided to show you what get with the 6" newt that came in my package. I need to put more confidence in the tripod and shoot this in low ISO and longer exposure. Maybe tonight.
I don't think this would be a bad starter setup for you and plenty of room to grow. Newts have their own quirks but still great to learn with.
Good luck whatever you decide to jump on with.

Thank You! It is helping me get ready to jump in.
I do want a 2" eyepiece and Crawford focusing adjuster.
I'll be looking forward to your viewing/posting with the 5" SCT as well.
Meanwhile, the weeks keep slipping by... :|
Does Summer offer worthwhile viewing? Or does the hotter temperatures play Hobbs with the atmosphere?
Orion is slipping Westward from me.
I think I'm becoming nocturnal.... :roll:

The Summer Milky Way is sneaking up on us. Some really good shooting there.
Time to break out that 10-24mm for some 20-30 sec shots.

And that is something you can without a scope.
Orion is indeed heading west to hunt and soon saturn will be the object of my desire along with dark sky milky way shots. I warned you when you started down this path. :lol: :lol:

Which makes for the perfect time for a road trip to dark skies!
I'm planning on heading to Sequoia and the Bristlecone Pines this summer.

OMG, I was up in the High Sierras last year you are never going to want to go home. Good luck.

I have a couple of spots that I go to.
One of which is what we call star gazers rock. It is an outcropping of granite on the top of a mountain, with the tops of trees just above eye level for a nearly 360° view. At around 9,000 feet :-)
We used to go to the Sierras a few times a year, but we haven't been making our trips as often as we would like. Life seems to be getting in the way!
:-D

I get to Mt Figueroa, good viewing, outside Santa Barbara 5 or 6 times a year and the Sierras once or twice for outstanding seeing.
Shutterbug has 8000 ft. 45min from home, we have to pester him into making more field trips with his new equipment.
