Thats a fair hike from S Wales but if theres a group meeting there on a nice clear weekend I'd travel up - will keep an eye on this thread - every now and again its worth the travel for truly dark skies- good luck folks

resistance is futile :0)

All those dark skies to yourselves- how lucky are you guys lol

yes an albumn function would be even better if possible - though I guess it would eat up more server space but on other forums I've been on its been a really popular feature - never mind in the future perhaps- thanks for the Sticky - great idea Mat

Mat is it worth putting a sticky on this thread so its at the top all the time when people add to it?

heres a few from our unofficial meet the day after (15th April 2012) at Trecastle - just outside Brecon

Dave (Mr Flibble) Gaz (Garethmobile) Pete(Texas Pete) and Dan (Texas Pete Jnr)

Same meet with me (Stevetynant) please note the padding around the mid section is purely for climate control.

nice one Mat

Hi there, was in the elan valley yesterday, I can imagine the skies there would be fantastic as it was so remote. Bit too far from so wales to meet on a regular basis but we downs a lot of time in ceredigion so will watch your thread to see if theres a chance of meeting up in the future. Good luck with your endeavours, your right it is a beautiful part of wales

Another excellent site for building a list of observing targets originally posted by dark knight

Tonight's Sky

that is a really good site - thanks for the heads

What a good idea- I feel another home made mod coming on

I've been following this thread for a while- now eventualy once I've sorted my own case out - cannot find it anywhere but am so pleased with my results- thought I'd share it anyway - I know its kind of skinny on actual EPs = but definitely room for expansion - created mostly with a felt pen and a bread knife lol

lol - perhaps I can put my coffee flask in it aswel (and the scope) :0)

Hmm - I may have gone a bit ovr the top with this one but it should be better tha the toolbox with cut up car sponges I'm using at the moment - the only slight worry I have is that I noticed everyone is using diced foam whilst this is a solid foam block - appreciate any tips on cutting the foam to shape - I'm thinking drill with circular wood bit or bread knife at the moment:eek:

So far learning everytime I come on this forum - very friendly and informed people with a mix of complete Newbs like myself but the more informed helping others has also been a great resource. Funny, Friendly and hugely informative- can't recommend more highly really.
