  1. I also think the SPC was a little larger last night
  2. Great drawings Mark ๐Ÿ‘
  3. Great observation - what scope did you use ?
  4. Mars, looking through quite a bit of haze/mist and cloud - which dulled down the image and seemed to help ๐Ÿ™‚ 4" Refractor, 21:50BST, x217
  5. Phenomenal sequence of images ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†
  6. Great sketch Mike, I looked out and it was cloudy so went to bed ๐Ÿ˜ด
  7. @Shaun_Astro Result ๐Ÿ˜€ Straightening the dew shield may improve your laser test even more.....
  8. As others suggest it could just be the dew shield that had been knocked offline and the optics are fine. I would flag up the issue to the seller and also do a star test at x200 to check the alignment of the optics
  9. I used to image the Planets but felt a bit disconnected, so I started to draw and find it much more fun.
  10. Thanks Jock, I used a pair of 15mm Vixen LVโ€™s in a Binoviewer
  11. Brilliant sequence of drawings - well done for staying up ๐Ÿ‘
  12. Another great observation and drawing Mark.
  13. Great drawings Mark ๐Ÿ‘
  14. Excellent observation and drawing. I also keep seeing subtle shadings in the Northern hemisphere but they donโ€™t show up in other peoples photo images - strange !
  15. Great sketch @globular, what scope did you use ?
  16. I used binoviewers and a neutral density filter to try and see Olympus Mons last night in my DZ but no joy ๐Ÿ™
  17. Thatโ€™s very good Mike, I was out observing at the same time ๐Ÿ™‚
  18. Yes the setting circles on the Vixen SP donโ€™t work as they should. I added a small locking screw to mine by drilling through the setting circle and tapping a thread. But even then they were not very accurate to be honest.
  19. I have a bad back and find viewing from the back of a scope and sitting down to observe is best.
