F3.3, needs testing with a night vision eyepiece?! You’ll give @Stu aperture fever again... take us ages to get him over it 😉😉. Lovely looking scope, how portable is it?

Hi Peter, it very portable indeed. It takes a couple of minutes to remove the cage and truss poles and wheel the rest into the back of the car. Bought a pair of lightweight folding ramps to use with the SUV.

Very nice! I think @GavStar has the 16” version?
Thanks Stu. I added the row of buttons along the bottom to control it easier in the dark. I think the first thing every Dod owner does is modify it!

Its now “closed season” (clocks changed), so time to fettle the Astro kit ready for the Milky Way late summer...

Tweaking the goto on my big Dob, replacing the Sky Commander with Nexus DSC. Its way more flexible And the SSD slot let’s you easily create your own custom lists.

I can pm it to you Clem.
You are welcome to join us too next time we head down there.
My parents live in Wokingham, in there most weeks
Wokingham light pollution so bad now it's not even worth trying to observe. 3,000 plus new houses just for starters. Really appreciate it if you could PM me the location of that site. After this lockdown ends I will have to travel to observe from now on.

Great Stu! Love to join you and Jamie. PM me the site when you get a chance, I will try to suss it out on my way to/from Portsmouth.
Parents live in Wokingham? Small world.
Many thanks

Bignor, went there recently with the Walton group, mag 21.3, nice and dark. There are other sites further west if you avoid the main population centres.

Many thanks Peter. Is that near the Roman Villa?

Hi all, looking for a good dark, darkish, site to take my Dob to in the South Downs National Park. Travelling from Wokingham. All suggestions welcome.

Great bit of kit.
The AYO mount, top notch.
Nexus DSC, top notch.
The booze, proper job.
Very tidy setup as well.
Hope you enjoy.
