Hi I'm Codey, I'm an Amatuer Astronomer from Kentucky! I'm a man of many hats, I can do a bit of IT,astronomy,astrophysics,orbital mechanics,some bit of programing, and a bit of other stuff. This is my basic setup at the time being: Telescope: Orion Skyview Pro 120mm EQ | |
Skyview Pro 120mm EQ

Took me most of the session to find the Virgo Cluster. My widest lens was a 25mm,still not large enough to see all of the galaxies in this bit of sky. Slight changes in DEC and RA would show more galaxies. They are nothing more than light smudges against the black background that is space. Its quite incredible to see millions of stars,planets,galaxies that are 60 million+ light years away. Light traveled that distance just to be focused in by your telescope and put into your eye.
Others Galaxies seen: M86 M90 M58 M91 M88 M99 Maybe a few others.
