I got myself a 5" Newtonian reflector for my birthday. Well chuffed.

Anyway I took it out in the garden tonight and even with the light pollution I saw Mars, and Saturn with her rings amongst others. Still think I need to colimate properly though. Anyway I put my camera on the thread for mounting a camera on the telescope (not through the view finder but on the barrel.

Here are the results.

The Big Dipper

Saturn and a shooting star

A bunch of stars
