  1. Good luck Mike, I shall be watching with interest!
  2. Great report John, really glad you are enjoying the scope now. I was at herstmenceux star camp last month with my scope observing and this guy comes over and ask to have a look through the eyepiece. He has a gander and then says "that's a nice mirror". I said "cheers, I'm very very happy with it". He then says; "that's a John Nichol mirror if I'm not mistaken?" "It is!" I reply surprised, "how can you tell?" He then comes away from the focuser, shakes my hand and says "John Nichol, pleasure to meet you!" When I ordered the mirror it was done via email and phone so I'd never actually met the man. In the dark it was obviously difficult to recognise him! Anyway meeting him in person only reinforced my opinion on what a nice guy he is and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his mirrors. So glad you have a similar opinion!
  3. Quite possibly......but it's not photon deprivation, lol!
  4. Great scope deepspace! My 22", not very portable but the views............ This could develop into a drool thread for me if others post pics!!!!
  5. Great report Alan, you sound just a touch excited!? I've yet to hit Virgo with mine yet so here's hoping we get some clear sky to do it soon.......should be amazing! Your not wrong about Jupiter, there is definitely a sweet magnification point that varies night to night, generally I find my 10mm ethos hit's the spot though (x188 for me). I put the planet right over to one side of the eyepiece and then watch it drift across the 100 degrees. This gives your eye time to take in the detail without any nudging. The summer nebula will be a treat too.......wait till you point it towards sagittarius & cygnus
