Dunfermline Astronomical Society

Had a really long session last Saturday managed a 6 hour session. The scope was not too badly aligned and most of the night it was on target or there about.

I managed several nebulae and galaxies that I had only dreamt of seeing as a lad. I really need to get some counter weights for the LX90 so I can attach my revelation 2 speed crayford focuser. I find that the LX90's own focuser is hard to get pin sharp accuracy but the crayford is just too heavy without balances.
I will post some more images of some of the joys of that night and start with an old friend M31 in Andromeda. I know that it's not a brill picture but none the less I'm excited about it and one day I will get it perfect. For now this will do me.
