  1. couldn't find 5 Horsehead Nebula_Fin by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr NGC281 Pacman (hubble palette) by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr Aquila 18mm by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr
  2. Moonrise at lucksall. what I was most happy about was the crater detail. almost feel like you're falling into them
  3. Why? you've got the two ccds already . go on. you know you want to
  4. I'm not sure I understand what you mean cath? I assume Raven is just after an explanation as to what he saw
  5. I've been following this thread closely over the last few days. After all the dramas I'm really happy things have finally turned around for you mate. Really looking forward to having a sneaky peak through it at sglxii
  6. haha, fair enough Mike. forget the buzzers, get one of those musical car horns
  7. still going for the christmas tree look then with all them lights?
  8. I'm just up the road mike. call in for a brew if ya fancy. I'll show ya what a proper (AP) set-up looks like
  9. Another 20" @faulksy, ready for sgl12?
  10. with the likes of twitter and fb it's no wonder that "likes" are becoming more popular than comments. Back in the day, people had something to add...now its just all too easy to like a post and move on . In fact, I seem to recall hearing that in the earlier days of sgl, there was no "like" button so this may go some way to explaining why members with 10k,20k or more posts have a much lower lpr than newer members. When alls said and done, it's just a bit of fun . Oh, @Stu, I found a 5000+with 1 like although I do wonder if any of these figures have been messed up with software upgrades etc
  11. To me, this just highlights the desire for flo to provide as near perfect service as is reasonably possible. I only wish a service such as this was available when I bought my <£1000 triplet . possibly the best £75 you could hope to spend :D. Well done flo
  12. could you please  resubmit your advert to comply with classified rules. thank you

    Adverts must include: 

    • A description of the item.
    • Its price (please make it clear if you are, or are not, open to offers). 
    • Details of condition and a photograph. 
    • Postage/collection options and required payment methods. 
  13. @alacant Tia, Yes, the orientation will be the same. as Dave has pointed out, there may be slight rotation due to polar alighnment being off a little but this would also apply to a camera aligned to the RA/DEC. As you can see, I've deliberately rotated the camera alignment in my planetarium software by 40o and taken two pics 10 hrs apart and there is no rotation at all. Ihope this explains it for you. As others have said, working with a camera aligned RA/DEC is so much easier when it comes to adjusting the camera and especially when you get to doing mosaics
  14. I think you're overcomplicating things louise . Regardless of orientation on an eq, providing its not altered it stays the same
  15. When I win the lottery and build my fully automated obs, you are gonna be one busy man
  16. I'll go over it with you at sgl11 if you want
  17. Not ideal if you're on the side of a hill, but Iget your point
  18. I think I know the video in question and whilst I agree that there is no need for the rat cage, I don't think it's necessarily as detrimental as the vid makes out. It also made me laugh when he started banging on about the welds being part of the tentioning (i'm paraphrasing here). For crying out loud, the distortions due to the welds are unavoidable and there is next to no way of replicating the same "warp" with every pier. I think he's done the diy astronomer a great dis-service insinuating that we are nearly all incapable of building a descent mount. for the money he charges, I could probably build a handful.
  19. 2015 was the year of starting ccd imaging. Not a lot to choose from but here you are 2014-12-12 Horsehead ProcessMask After by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr pelican_2nites_TVpro by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr Heart of the heart by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr veil complex 2nites by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr Cone Neb by Scott Prideaux, on Flickr I'll try for a bit of colour next year
  20. A very good point. if buying new, you want to be confident they will be able to sort out any niggles you may have. I'm unsure you'll get that from a camera store selling scopes
  21. Ok Stuart, I'm baffled... whats with the two AT's?
  22. oh you dob mob really stand up for each other don't you'se
  23. blummin eck.... Swamp Thing giving imaging advice He'll be advising on planetary imaging next
