21 messiers ticked in the last 2 nights to complete the list 110/110 :)

My thoughts are with our American Friends at this sad time, With the Oklahoma disaster

why is it that every piece of astro gear i buy is either late,faulty or not as expected?

scope set up outside-clouds rolling in :(

just received my new eyepiece, so sorry for causing all these clouds :/

Cleaning my eyepieces.

Can anyone recommend a good camping holiday? Child friendly. Wanting to go in August around the time of the meteor shower. Thanks. :-)

3 good nights in last 2 months - seriously!

awesome night-38 new galaxies and one cluster including 15 new messiers and 15 more off the herschel 400.must have seen atleast another 20 galaxies in Virgo but its a hard place to navigate!report to follow!

M97, M108, M44 + M67! All with my humble SW 130MWooooo

dark sky trip planned for wednesday night and the forcast looks excellent!!please please be clear i need to tick off about 30 galaxies in the virgo area!!!!

another dissapointing night when its forcast clear.astronomy is turning me into a right grump,may be time for a lay off plus my 3 month old moonlite focuser is becoming a bit sloppy so to say im in a bad move is an understatement!

Cloud filter.....Come on astronomik!!! get your finger out!!

forcast clear all over yorkshire and guess what-not a star in the sky visible!!

another night cursing weather forcasters!!!forcast clear 6pm-3am and ends up cloudy 6pm-3am.what a pointless hobby!!

so annoyed today,total nightmare of Rubbish and Rubbish weather grrrrrr

how much detail can i get of jup[iter with a skyliner 200p dob at the moment im getting just 3 bands iv if i up grade new eye peices will i be abel 2 see the red spot thanks guys

Just booked a week in Cornwall near Crackington dark sky site. Beware, the last week of May will be very very cloudy!

looks like it may stay clear so out in the north york moors at minus 8 to bag m79 and m93 hopefully

Will be the proud owner of a Skywatcher 200p/EQ5 on Friday, getting rather excited!!

well the skies are clpearing nicely here, however I am in the bad books with Mrs so maybe I pamper her instead, might be wise :-D
