Last weekend I attended the annual Saskatchewan Summer Star Party in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. I HIGHLY recommend this outing for anyone with an interest in astronomy. I learned more in 3 days - particularly about telescopy and observing - than I've learned in the past year on my own.
I was very fortunate to have access to my dad's 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on a motorized mount in addition to my very old (30 years almost!) 4" on equatorial mount. Big words. I know.
The best part though is that I was let loose with the motorized Cassegrain during the day last Saturday. So I took out my nifty iPhone telescope mount, some filters and a big ol' sun and got some great shots!
