  1. That looks good! If I get something like that, I'll be well happy
  2. This will be the first astro image in a number of years, and also the longest exposure I've ever done! The Solarcan is strapped, south facing to my guttering downpipe. The exposure has started. Alarm set for December 22nd to stop it lol Ant
  3. Hello all, Long time Hi @Steve yes, we need a catch up! It started broadly at the timescales mentioned above. It was indeed a Yahoo group. Russ and I were both members of "UK Astronomy", we kept getting told off for talking about imaging. So Russ started a Yahoo Group called UK Astro Imaging (or UKAI). This gained traction fairly quickly and we moved to basic Forum Software, and started to incur small costs - a member (and by then a fellow admin of UKAI) started to cover these costs, and eventually wanted it all to himself. He booted Russ and I off. We moved to forum software that was free, with limited features and adverts. I did indeed come up with the name Stargazerslounge. I was lucky enough to meet Grant through work. Grant's a bit clever you see, and has done wonders ever since. Steve/FLO have been forum sponsor for a long time now, and really enable us to do some great things. All the star parties, competitions etc. I hung up my boots a few years back, my job seems to take it all out of me and the thought of "staying up late" is exhausting... let alone ACTUALLY staying up late. From what I can see Steve, Grant and the whole mod team are doing a sterling job with my baby 😛 Ant
  4. Congratulations @John Your knowledge and enthusiasm are part of what makes SGL great! Keep up the good work mate. I look forward to reading more of you posts! Ant
  5. Happen to glance out of the window last night and saw a nice albeit low display, Tried to capture some images with the Canon, but its been so long that I couldn't really remember how to take manual pictures, and secondly couldn't find the tripod!!! This images was taken with my S10+ handheld, everything on auto. Amazing what these phones can do these days.
  6. Damn, that's a nice image! Well done!!
  7. Fantastic, nice one! congratulations. Ant
  8. ha ha ha - that stayed on topic about 0 posts lol I have no clue how you may have got that. Looks kind of nice though
  9. When i sell something I ask what I want for the item. Its really quite simple. That is a condition of using our classified section. End off issue really. If you would prefer to use a 'proper' classified section as you put it, you clearly know the address for it. Please feel free. If you want to use ours put a price in the advert. Ant
  10. This was from a much earlier version of rhe forum software, these don't really exist anymore ant
  11. Thanks for a quick easy deal My recent purchases include a new (to me 500D), picked up for £90. Missing the mains charger - had to get a charger (£6 amazon). A rather nice camera lens dew strap, powered by 5v USB (i use a power tank to power). That was about £15ish. and lastly a new EQM-35, which when it arrived I was informed by Jane that one of the other mounts had to go... hence the sale to John above lol Ant
  12. Welcome to SGL Steven. I have a fondness of Texas, have some astro friends there. I spent three weeks in Houston / Davis Mountains 30 years ago (damn thats a long time ago). Attended the TSP with some member of the Houston and Fort Bend Astro societies. Also observed from the Mcdonald Observatory. That was really good fun. Stay safe Ant
