Yes, I did. Those are all from basically the back deck. You have to be careful. As you mentioned earlier, I am surrounded by trees. Anything that you try to point the telescope at has to be pretty high in the sky, elevation. I generally look for anything 70 degrees or higher in elevation. Then, of course, you have to let it sit and take multiple exposures and then stack them together. The telescope is really neat because you can tell it to point at an object. There is of course a catalog of stuff. It knows your GPS location from your phone. You can connect your phone to the telescope. Then it figures out where things are in the sky. Then it will track. It will actually keep it, I guess, account for the Earth's rotation and keep the telescope pointed at the thing you are looking at. It just takes 10 second exposures as the default. I haven't changed that, but you can go longer if you want to risk star trails. Then it stacks them together. Some of those, like the spiral galaxy, I think that's called. The one picture of the spiral galaxy was taken over, I think, about three or four hours of exposures. Then it stacks them all together. That's how you end up getting better images. It's not high resolution, but at least you can take pictures of stuff and take a look. Anyway, I'll go rambling. Back to you, Ron. NR-70TG7AII.
