Well chuffed, got offered a new job today.

Wow! Just found out I've won this month's Sky at Night magazine's podcast competition! I'll have to listen to it again, as I can't remember what the prize is!

being in limbo sucks! feel lost not owing a scope.

flocking here, got some deiornized water to clean the mirror while its out

26 galaxy's so far tonight time for a brew and crack on

I've had it with this stupid wind...too much already!!

hello SGL ! been a while

Broke my Polar scope. Had problems calibrating it, took out all the grub screws hope to reset it some how and now its all locked up. :(

trying to decide since i have only observed 3 times in 3 months if i shouls sell my 16" lightbridge and start buying things for my 22" scope like feathertouch with sips and an 80mm finder.two minds as if the weather ends up good i could be without a scope until summer

Just seen the Orion Nebula for the first time through my ST80 from a little patch of grass out the back of the flat. Well chuffed.

So.... Daft Punk win a grammy and become part of the "establishment"...hmpff! Its just not old skool..

ummm, to sell up or not. That is the question.

RIP John Dobson. Thank you for helping me and my kids see the stars. May your contribution be long remembered.

Our 10 weeks old puppy "told" me what he thinks about astronomy, by pooping on my dob's rocker box... *sigh*

Amazing dark site session tonight. Rather amusingly, however, just about everything either frooze or dewed over; my glasses, the finder, scope's shroud, eyepieces and cases, my shoes, everything :-)

5 new faint galaxies...and all Messier objects finally ticked...voila!!

Telescope arrived today and my Helios Apollo High Resolution 15x70 binoculars . Well happy now.

Been a while since I was last on SGL. What have I missed? :)

Righto. A 10 inch flextube DOB ordered from FLO. I look forward to it arriving. Seeing skies have been so bad here lately, I have a funny feeling it wil clear up later in the week to test it out. :)
