  1. I have a large pair of Strathspey 25x100 binoculars - I had a calamity with them 1st time on a tripod they fell off the threaded screw and stripped the female thread within the mount, see picture below. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement part, or are they beyond repair??
  2. You not got a bed to go to!!

  3. Last few days were challenging, weather wise. Galloway Star Camp is a unique opportunity to set up equipment and gather photons on a camera or in a telescope eyepiece. I opted for the latter. It's easy😊 Stuart Duff went for the former on his new toy. PC issues and drivers hampered his experience. We did get something from Stuart's kit, but not what hoped for. When Stuart gets his issues sorted, I can't wait to see the results, his kit has some cracking possibilities. Apart from the above, it was great to meet the Astro bunch, Katie Hughes, Amber Pryszcz , Helena, Wullie, Steve, James Chapman James Murphy and Denise, Calvin Hall Damian, Irish Ian, Jake Lancaster , Nick Mac, Ian who busses and walks to the event, Kenny and Roy Cunningham in no particular order. Thanks guys for what Galloway always produces, great skies, great company - and Stuart, it wouldn't have happened for me, but for you. See you all next time - I guarantee clear skies Above text is from Facebook post. Below is also me adding to the post. Big thanks to Jim and Dawn for jumping in at the last moment to organise stuff, and to Lesley and Ralph for towing most of the campervans out. David aka Wacky Scot
  4. For those looking for suitable warm weather gear for the camp, I came across this Available in various colours and sizes 🤣
  5. Taken in Tarland on Pixel 6 astrophotography mode - phone holder on tripod, processed in phone.
  6. Glad you guys got some great skies, hopefully see you later in the year :)
  7. Where are all the pictures, not seen much of the camp and attendees :(
  8. I tried replying earlier but it got binned. Great Star Camp minus MIke. We really missed Mike being there this week. I'm glad he'll see this and know he'll enjoy the pics. It was brilliant that Astronomy Scotland and SGL came together for an amazing Star camp, long may it continue PXL_20211103_093441567.mp4
  9. See you Wednesday - watch out for Aurora tonight, Saturday. If clear there is a good chance
  10. The things we do for a bet Adrian. I have a picture of that somewhere, need to search for it. I hope you are well. Look after yourself and hope to exchange jokes over a drop of the gold stuff soon. Couldn't find the tent pic, but here are 3 good memories Best wishes David
