Use the self timer to avoid shake when you press the shutter button. When looking through with the 9mm and 2xbarlow you could just make out the brown gradients of Jupiter.

I have now moved on to using a DSLR and you can get good results, see M81/M82 galaxies image We were able to see the supernova that had emerged the previous week in M82 and which is gone in a few more weeks. Looking at a few of the brighter stars it was hard to tell if they were any more visible than they were with the naked eye, basically just tiny white dots maybe a millimetre in diameter with no detail but they are pretty far away, so I moved on to letting the scope show me some nebulas or deep sky objects, at this point I should mention that I didn't have complete darkness as I was in my garden so there was slight light pollution, but I still expected to see something, anything, but I saw nothing. You can get them bigger with additional eyepieces or Barlow lenses, but with ones I got (admittedly not the highest quality) I couldn't see more details - same thing just bigger and a little blurrier.

The optical tube assembly, OTA, slides into a place locating a metal bar in a dovetail fixing on the support arm. Fiddly to set up but download free software like GIMP (free photoshop equivalent) to bring up the levels and what looks like three white dots turns into a nebula.

It is possible to see galaxies as white smudges, very hard to find without the Go To so it comes into its own. This telescope isn't the best of course and it could be better. - An illuminated reticle / crosshair eyepiece will make the initial alignment easier/faster.

Easy to use, setting up is simple and results are great. In conclusion, use the vast resources of the internet to find out what to see each month. 25" barrel limits your field of view, so the reducer is not really a solution. See tips below.
