It has so much warmth, but the paper, you can forget!

It's been 'axed' according to the Sun! https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/6295694/bbc-bosses-quietly-axe-stargazing-live-with-prof-brian-cox-and-dara-o-briain/

Probably reached the optical limits of the scope or its fragility, and not forgetting the seeing conditions. Even my scope is limited by the seeing conditions, but when its not so good, I back off the power, or even go back inside.

If you still have the Bresser, would your eldest not be blown away, as you were, from your own recollection. I like the first two responses to this thread. The 150P Skyliner Dobsonian, or better still the 200P Skyliner will really blow your socks off when looking at the Moon. Jupiter will be about the size of a small pea, but when conditions allow, the rings will be visible as are Jupiter's moon shadows, when a transit occurs?

I gave up with the old laptop, still in cupboard, and Mrs has her new Chromebook, but there's every possibility I'll tinker further with the old Acer. Next, the Samsung EVO 850 SSD is a possible 'upgrade' for my old W7 Intel Core Q8300 system. Not purchased yet, but needing the 1TB option, so I can clone the existing 1TB HDD. It's probably the cheapest upgrade over buying a 2019 PC. Its just to run FSX!

I've tried the TeleVue Delos, given their background and the many positive reports they get, but found them to be no better visually for my needs. True, to some, TeleVue are better, defo more expensive and with their 20mm eye relief, and their Dioptrx system, they're still a good eyepiece, but for me the benefits might have been more observable on a much faster scope? I've even decided that after testing several Plössl's and ortho's I really don't need my existing Plössl's anymore in favour of just keeping the Starguiders. The BST's won't favour everyone, but a lot of users have the same or similar combination of f/6 skyliner and a few Starguider EP's. I know the Starguiders were not created specifically for my scope, but the combination does work very well, and their comfortable too. Like you said "I don't think the BSTs would ever be a bad choice" if anyone is considering the same/similar setup.

Looking different today! Thank you Grant.

Thankyou . Nothing changed here since my last text, but I've noted already that the embedded link has been updated with both http text's now showing https. I copy pasted the whole link again, but still its showing my original 00Hrs image rather than that of 1400 Hrs today! You're probably aware of this already! Grant, Unless I'm wrong, I'm expecting to see the current conditions just by looking at the avatar in my signature, without actually clicking on the avatar itself.

IndianAstroboy, Hello and welcome . I have the same telescope and for my needs the eyepieces in my signature all work very well on this scope. The BST Starguiders are my favourites, they don't provide a 6mm but I wanted a 6mm to match the scopes focal ratio f/6, so went for the William Optics 6mm SPL. In general, from my experience, any 8mm and a 12mm eyepiece would give good results on this scope, providing your comfortable yourself with the eyepiece in question, and you dont need to spend a fortune to get good results from a Skyliner, and for wider field's of view,( possibly in two inch format) My choice was the Skywatcher Panaview 32mm.

Corrected. Thanks for your patience.

Copied the whole link including brackets?..added the 's' to make 'https:'

Correct me if I'm wrong? If I click on my clearoutside image in my signature, it defaults to the clearoutside.com web page and sure enough the data is updated. My reference earlier was to the image within my signature block. It's over an hour since I last embedded that image yet the image still remains the same, no update. If the clearoutside.com page is able to update my signature image, then I'm still setup wrong. It was my impression that just looking at the signature alone would give me the information required.

Cheers grant, I've embedded the small forecast, second option for forums.

Thick as *Fog* or what, and not the clouds! I'm sure I might be the only one, and yet its been four Years since my reference above, so I really don't mind mentioning the fact (in order to help others) just in-case someone has even 'thought the same' but dared to ask? I've only just realised, now, tonight, that the Clear Outside Avatar in my signature does not auto-update! the image is static....Doh! I'm certain too that this fact has even curtailed a few observing sessions due to my ignorance lol. ?
