2,500mm plus 2xTC

[astroNikon]

Was playing around with my telescope. Hoping for a clear night.
So I put a 2x Teleconvertor on it.

What a pain to focus though.

A street sign at 2500 - look at the Bokeh / OOF !!

Then at 2x

Then an aircraft basically 7.25 miles away

We are not worthy.

We bow to the dominance of your glass!

This is the moon at 5,000 when it was low in the horizon so not much detail.

T'was the night nothing wanted to work.
My Telescope computer was going whacko and wanted to take a look at China all the time. So I put it in Manual ... ugh. Even my corded Nikon OEM remote just stopped working for no reason at all.
Ugh. I gave up after a while. I'll have to reset/reconfigure everything in the day light.

It seems to vignette quite a bit.
Nice pics though, for a scope.

Are you going to take some pictures of Mars on the 30th?

You can capture some of those exotic crazy color birds that Donde shoots In columbia I think right from the comfort of your own yard.

Well done..

I'd say continous focus is a ***** though

I may but it's still just a red dot to the camera, though a larger red dot streaking across the sky. When I add magnification (such as an eyepiece) then you can see a lot more.
