Actually, in theory, there is one member with the rank of "Dark Energy". We think he's out there, but no-one knows where to find him, or how to prove he exists...........

Is it THE STIG................

Nice find John. Wish I would have read this instead of peting you guys with questions youve anwsered too many times before

You all do realise, of course, by this very imaginative DIY of red lights that you are taking the bread out of the mouths of the Astronomy retailers who are trying to earn a meager crust during these very hard times, we could end up being flooded with unused red torches, something els the European Common Market will no doubt have to legislate for, he he he Happy New Year everyone

The less they sell the cheaper the prices meaning cheaper red light torches for everyone. Queue the Revouloution Brothers!!!

Hi,

Just thought I would save people some money by sharing my way of making a red light torch.

Go to ASDA/Tesco and buy a £1-£2 torch, then buy the cheapest RED nail varnish you can find. Paint the nail varnish on the glass bit of the torch (give it a few coats 3 should do it.) Let it dry and then turn the torch on. Hey presto you now have a red light torch that preserves night vision for under £5

Midge,

Hello,

I live in Shropshire and recently took up this great hobby. I am looking for a new scope and I keep being told go to your nearest clubvs open night and look at their kit. I currently do not know of any clubs. Does anybody know of or is involved in an Astronomy club close to Telford/Shropshire?
