output not provided
This evening I had the pleasure to mount the telescope with my father for a series of coincidences I found him to have dinner together and the telescope by car:)
We shot a little 'looking for a dark site in Rome, we finally placed on a lawn between Via Casal del Marmo and Ipogeo of knockout. Some lamp here and there but it was the best we could find so, on the fly.
A light haze covered the moon, and, apparently, the legend is true: a light mist portends good seeing, and so was: D
The time available was not very, thanks to the fatigue of both and we've focused on Jupiter and Moon (including the almost full). With both subjects were able to use profitably the 2x barlow and the 10mm (240x total).
I showed my father the giant without saying anything, and without ever having seen, he noted now the two equatorial bands with evident satisfaction:)
beautiful moon to the naked eye, blinding the eyepiece: D
conclusion: good evening parent-child, the kind that does not happen often:)

Chikan Groping In Bus Train
First exit outside
the evening July 9, I made my first release seen in the company (I take this opportunity to thank Free Thinker and MaximoRed ).
now become a necessity was the vision of a real sky, I hardly felt the need to put the eye on the eyepiece so great was the difference from the sky I'm used to.
The place was near Rome, Tusculum area (namely here, N41.79655 , E12.73099 ). The overall impression was positive, of course, I was left with the intention of making a real observation output, more of a dress rehearsal, getting comfortable with a mount everything in a different place from home, losing a clash with screw on the grass and having to look in the dark (found then: D), put the eye on the eyepiece of a friend without disconnecting the cables of the mount: D, things like short:)
We mainly observed Jupiter, and this I must say did not look much different from what I observe from home (at least in my tool). With Free Thinker we pointed to some object such as a M92 in Hercules in my eye that looked like a white cloud well defined. Thanks to my MaximoRed 150mm Newton showed us a beautiful Lagoon (M8), this seemed like a glow visible considering the Sagittaria very low.
rating this event: 9! Prime time "serious", good company, a sky in which clearly divided the constellations (yes, from my sky is unthinkable), a hint of the Milky Way and a great desire to repeat the experience:)
