  3. Had a visual on the supernova in M74 last night, fantastic..:)

      It's no good when it's too easy.

      I've got tickets for the 4th day at Old Trafford, hoping the game gets that far...

      First day back in about a week and it's cloudy - it seems I've had the luck even though I got a new scope. I really don't understand this...

  6. This is getting silly now, it's almost June and the wood burner is still getting lit.

      Yes I love it when it's hot and generally hot weather means sunshine and sunshine means clear skies and I like astronomy so it kinda helps really.

      Hope you had a good night, Col. Here it has dropped from 30º to 9º in just a day and the evening is freezing with chronic seeing. Even at just 100x I couldn't stop Saturn from blurring.

  9. Just taken delivery of my AZ4 which I got at a bargain price..:)
