didnt i buy a bottle of wonder fluid from you hobsey?

Nope, I wouldn't be silly enough to sell it.

Yup it was a bargain, but only because i purchased a £200 telescope 2 years ago :D

A hearty congratulations, well done.

Rich

Thanks. After seeing the syllabus and books involved, start to wonder what i've taken on!!!

I'm sure you will be fine once you get started. Wish I could do something like that, but just haven't got the time.

Its mad, when I was 20 I'd work out in the snow in a t-shirt. Now 10 years on, the slightest chill in the air and I'm under a cover on the sofa! Cold definitely gets me when observing nowadays.

Money well spent I reckon. I'm the same even this time of year I wear full on winter kit. Better too hot than cold and being uncomfortable!

Went out In my two fleeces tonight. Didn't feel cold. Moment I took them off in the house realised how cold it was! Best £28 spent I think.

Good night, I assume ?

Well, good two hours!!! FIrst time I tried the mirror out on DSOs and well, if M3 is an indication of what Is to come, then WOW!

sounds awsome! with work and the moon i only get maybe a chance of 2 nights out of a month to image lately if im lucky :(

Yeah I was like that when I worked, but a situation has allowed me to take a few months off, so I can view this autumn and winter!

yeah same here for norfolk uk, we was covered in cloud last night

thats sweet mate glad we have both had a good night in between the clouds :D

And there you were questioning whether to put it out or not!!

i know lol, really be kicking myself now wouldnt i lol :D

Congratulations on seeing it, I have yet to spy this massive expanse. I have an OIII filter coming so hopefully start viewing this as a regular target. There is an amazing image if you simply search 'veil in UV'. It looks like a skull with a star in one socket. Unreal :)

Went back and saw some more of it tonight. It is such an amazing sight!

I located the area with my widest field EP & with no access to the OIII stared at the black absence of the veil. The LP here washed out much of the sky so concentrated on some doubles.

OIII should be here today (yay!).

Shhhhh. don't tell emadmoussa you can view things with the street lights on. ;-))

Sounds like you had a good night. Wish our streetlights went off at midnight. People round here get scared if one bulb goes out!

Yeah was good. I wish security lights would go out round here! But yeah, tis nice to have the street lights go off.
