Could sky islands exist on exoplanets or moons?
I mean if it's good enough for XKCD, this question deserves more upvotes!

How is z calculated in red shift observations?
Thank you - makes sense! (Just googled to work out that Å is Angstroms en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom - a way of representing very tiny lengths)

Trying to use Canon 60D DSLR with Skywatcher 130P. Can't focus image
Collapsing the telescope a little did make it possible to focus an image, so many thanks for that. Ultimately it feels quite unwieldy with a DSLR attached to the camera directly, so I decided to get a little webcam with an eyepiece adaptor... Still experimenting with this - main issue is the narrow field of vision...
