Had some okay conditions tonight, managed to get some minutes of usable exposure on M101 (pinwheel galaxy), aiming to get ~12 hours or so total before this shot is ready.

The one I use is fairly low end reflector and cost £140 (~$210), but if you do photography and not just visual observation you'll also need a T or T2 adapter (£20 or so) and a reasonably good camera. Refractor telescopes are generally get better quality than reflector telescopes but also more expensive for the same aperture.

My guess was a clothing line, but then I remembered it's the UK, and drying clothes outside in the UK is like expecting a cup to fill up with water in California.

so tonight was pretty much the first cloudness night since i got my new mount
i actually ended up DIYing an autoguider using a crappy microsoft webcam and some pro codeing and soldering skills

unfortunately i done fucked up and had my telescope pointing at the wrong place for over an hour
i did wonder why m31 looked so dim on 15 minute exposures, turns out it was actually ngc185 the whole time



tomorrow is also cloudless so hopefully i'll be able to fix my autoguider (it won't do ra-) and actually point it at a decent target
on the upside i was actually able to pick up the core of ngc185 with the webcam in my autoguider (much sensitivity, wow! :doge:)
