  2. Last night it was easy to find it. Bright coma. Hints of the tail averted vision just as the comet deeps under the rooftops. Had to pump up magnification to blacken the background. 4" frac f7; 9mm
  3. Lung, If you want to embark on this hobby, something that was really valuable to me, in terms of eyepiece, was to learn how to differentiate a standard eyepiece from a good one. And no eyepiece gave me more understanding about contrast, sharpness, than orthoscopic eyepieces. They are in the low budget spectrum, not because of the quality but because of the limited field of view. They are great for long focal length telescopes delivering a sharp planetary views. That is my advice about what type you could go first. All tips given before are very good. Good luck.
  4. Great views today. I could not recommend more. Also seen with eclipse glasses.
  5. No retailers ads please
  6. www.lenscleanerslounge.co.uk Equipment Review forum - washing liquids Clothes Retailers Reviews - Imperial Leather Cleaning Events - Lens Cleaning Spray Spring meeting
  7. I used to be an Amateur Astronomer, now I am officially an Amateur lens cleaner.
  8. Just want to confirm the smoth service from RVO. I bought my RVO Horizon 102 ED Doublet Refractor OTA and it was delivered very quickly as promised, no hiccups. Excellent. Thanks.
  9. surface brightness of 23.9 mag/arcsec2 Did you see the picture?
  10. That is the point, I don't want data from the subfolder but the main folder.
  11. Same problem, in this folder means all sub folders are included.
  12. When I do that all results from the subfolder also appear
  13. Hi How can I search in one specific forum, without showing results from subforums? e.g. search getting started general help and advice without results from prime and tutorials
  14. Interesting, I have never seen the f6 version of them
  15. Is the Starfield 4” F/7 = RVO 4” F/7 = Starwave 4” F/7 = Tecnosky 4” F/7 = TS 4” F/7?
  16. Great offers on Google Play for Skysafari apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simulationcurriculum.skysafari7&pcampaignid=web_share Skysafari 7 Pro £14.49 (Advanced) vs £47 normal price Skysafari 7 plus £6.49 ( Medium ) vs £19 normal price
  17. I have the ES 24/82. on my f5 dob it sits on the limit of the coma annoyance. It is a great eyepiece for rich field. I use it a lot.
  18. Hi Does anyone know where I can find these tiny screws for the AZ5 mount? I have not found where I put them. I think it is easier to buy new ones.
  19. Hi, Which Telescope(refractor) retailers in the UK check your purchased telescope (e.g. collimation) before shipping?
  20. Just gathering your thoughts. With carrying luggage limited at 56cm (length), is there any good 4 inch Refractor that can be categorised as travel scope? I was thinking about the FC100DC, But not sure if you can make it fit inside the 56cm limit.
  21. Good news! the telescope survived the journey. Very happy that I did it. 12" under dark skies is priceless. I think the biggest problem was the logistics at the destination, as not all airbnb pictures show to long and irregular steps to the houses or how far you have to carry 30kg equipment in the middle of the night because there is no parking spaces near by.
