Re: [RACAstronomy] Hey Everyone! Looking for some friends and possibly some help!

Salvatore,
  
Nice to meet you! 
Currently i do not have a telescope with which to use, and am having a bit of trouble finding a company that will ship one here (Meade apparently has a policy with all it's dealers that it will not ship to other countries outside of the US).  What kind of equipment do you have?  I've been using my digital camera on some clear nights to take some 1 minute exposures, and while some of it looks pretty  nice, it's still pretty limiting on what you can see with it.  I live near camp courtney, and while there's a bit of light pollution there, it's not very hard to just romp off somewhere near a farm and start gazing up at the sky.  If only it would stay clear for more than a day!

Ken
