After a night of watching and trying to photograph a meteor shower, I decided to get a beginner telescope to explore the night sky. After a few hours on YouTube and internet searches, I decided on a Celestron Power Seeker 127EQ. The EQ means equitorial mount that makes following a star or planet retelivity easy. I have a lot to learn :).

Pentax with Vivitar 70-210 lens. Also came with a Pentax bellows, 100mm bellows lens and 50mm SMC lens.
I had to fix the "mirror siezed' problem which took about 30 minutes.

I had planned to get out today with my K10D and two Tamron Adaptall lenses. I was going mainly for the Ultra Wide Perspective that is taking submissions now with the 17mm adaptall. I was going to Brazos Bend State Park so I included the 200-500 for some wild life photos. Unfortunately I got a 'memory card error' and the K10D is my only Pentax digital camera.
I have ordered new 32GB cards because I have been using 64 GB SD cards for all my digital cameras. I hope that fixes the issue. I have also bought another K10D which should be here by May 24, so I should be able to get the photos I need.
