Normally I'd be in the UK but currently in Cyprus. Over Christmas we had a really bright full moon which messed things up. Convinced myself I could see Andromeda occasionally with naked eye, but the viewfinder showed nothing. Where I live in the UK light pollution will be an issue. Any exposure around 30s gives a pale blue sky rather than black. Unless I want to drive at least a couple of hours, might need to invest in a pollution filter, but my aiming laser is first on the list...

Think I just need better stars :-). First target was Andromeda and the stars around it are very dim...going to get a 5mw green laser pointer and mount it to the hotshoe. I'm told the beam quite visible. Hope so, cos the cheap red ones I bought were almost hopeless.
Yes, if it's as bright as they say, I may have the odd Jedi fantasy...I'll be in a dark field where no one can see after all!

Hmm, I can usually see very little in viewfinder. Targetting on a single star with a pretty high zoom sounds challenging...how is your camera mounted?

Do you have to re target fairly often? How do you ensure you're keeping the target in the frame?
