CNAAG in Oxfordshire used to use a model airplane site at. They had a grass runway and the only stipulation was that you didn't drive on it. It was a great site till they installed night lights in the sports pitches below it !!

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered a copy.

☹️

I wish ! Hope you have a great time cruising and up the mountain.....

I have also bought from them . Great products, great communication and service. They should be able to customise what you need.

Thats what I did..... now swapped the 6se for an 8se !

Hi, I had a nexstar 6se and it was a great scope. I have recently bought a 8se and I love it. Aperture wise clearly the 8 has its advantages. But in general, both are quick and easy to set up. Goto is easy to use and increases viewing time optics are great. Over time upgrades are straightforward. Finderscopr/ diagonal. Just need to bear in mind humidity and invest in some dew bands. I highly recommend dewcontrol.com great products and service, and in stock.... Hope that helps.

Ha ha excellentlooks like the finderscope was heated...

Thanks for the tip about registering. All sorted.

Hi to all, I recently needed some additional dew strips for 2 " EP's. I tried a couple of online astro companies but their stock of astrozap were out of stock and no clear indication when they would be back in stock. ( not their fault ! ) I was on AB&S and came across Dew control UK. Made an initial purchase of a 2" EP heater with pick n mix options for connectors, cable types and length . The build quality is exceptional. Also noticed they had a unique solution for a rigel finder heater. I bought this with a 2 port controller. Really good quality stuff. UK made. Customer service from Tim was exceptional. Highly recommended IMHO Rapallokid

Hi I just wanted to give a big thumbs up for the service from Bob's Knobs direct from America. Unfortunately there is little stock in the UK and what I needed had to be made to order. The communication, attention to detail and customer service from Bob was exceptional. Big thank you and recommendation from me Rapallokid.

Hi to all, I have decided to abandon my plans to attend the event this week. I was coming with a friend who does astrophotography. Saturday was looking like the only possible night with clear skies, but even now the wind is not favourable. Dont mind the cold, but sitting around in a tent for 4 days with poor forecast for me is too much. Given the current situation re covid, I would also be more apprehensive about social contact, which I also not really me! I hope you all have good time, hope the forecast changes and you get some clear skies. Hope to see you next time. Rapallokid.

Me, and a wee dram.

Nice one, we are neighbours, I'm on 334. Looking forward to meeting you.

Everybody got their kit together.... hats handwarmers , jaffa cakes, dew heaters..... . 11 more sleeps.....
