Caldwell 14

I took it the gent was talking about open cluster quality resolution with individual stars being nice tight pin points

M13 is a globular cluster. The stars within this cluster are too far away and too close together for individual stars to be seen

Its made me realise how much I've missed observing with this awful weather, it was great just to get the scope out.

Sadly no, although I did a little white light solar and a little lunar at dawn (wife is a nurse and woke me at daft o'clock) it was too cloudy last night.

Indeed, the Lyra is lovely, excellent quality and very expensive for an achro thats almost a bare tube. Lets tot it all up... Scope £380 Diagonal £70 (your not going to put a cheap diagonal on a scope like this are you?) Finder £60-75 Total = £520-ish Or you could buy a TAL 100RS for £250 + another 20 quid for a dovetail. You could do like I did cruise the second hand market for an ED scope

Manchester is way to near

Me too, any word on a Android version?

I did wonder about that

Right comfy bed it is....See you there chaps

I can stay over in Rainow nr Macclesfield (only14 miles away over the tops) so I might just come over for the night and head off to a proper bed in the wee small hours, is that possiable?

You again...

There ought be some sort of scope run, a astro version of a booze criuse out to Italy, and bring a load back, what a laugh an astro Itaian job

Ooooooooh lovely
