Well Stu finding all that stuff without a finder is incredible I'm pretty sure I could not do that. That moonlight looks great on that scope. Brilliant read thank you for posting.

I did all heavy lifting low paid jobs, flagging, fencing delivering various garden aggregate. This is how I did my back in 3 popped discs. was off sick but decided put myself through college went and did electrical installation 3 yrs passed everything, started working for a firm only there 6 months woke up couldn't see out my left eye, went a specialist hospital (St. Pauls eye hospital) I was told it was either a tumour or idiopathic intracranial hypotension. Luckily it was not a tumour although having 17 lumber punctures up to now to drain cervical spinal fluid is no fun but if I dont have them I can go blind. Needless to say I have no top end equipment but what I do have I get the best out of it and have seen many objects mostly double and multiple stars, you never know I may win the lottery and buy my dream set up. I do hope your health is getting better I too suffer with depression being in pain 24hrs a day so I know what it is like. Best wishes Paul

Well you are certainly getting some clear skies there and you have some fine eyepieces, I'm not jealous at all 😁 Great read again I'm hoping I'm going to be able to write a review next Friday if the weather stays as it is I will be going with a friend to a bortle 2 sky I am really looking forward to it. Thank you Joe great report. Paul

Now that sounds brilliant really portable. Best Wishes Paul

Now this is a lovely portable set up, love the tripod I'm thinking of getting a carbon fibre tripod and a AZ head for my Tal so I can carry it anywhere this has given me a few ideas. Really nice set up Joe.

Mine is supposed to be a skywatcher one I got it second hand.

Wow how tall is that extension mine is just over 10" that looks a lot bigger. How have you found the Asterion goto for accuracy.

Got it on pc could not do anything with the phone app.

I get this if I hold on the page.

Can you arrow it please I don't see any of the things you said.

Where did you get this from please

How do you find that in Clear outside I cannot see it thanks.

That's what I thought thank you for all your help really appreciate it.

I've just sent for this one.

I got the last one off ebay what I was looking for was what they are made of these say tungsten so thought they would be better.

Any of these any good.

They were going to make the bar as well but I thought it was a bit pricey.

That's very kind of you I'm in no rush I will get the £16 set and have a go.

I know of a engineers I went there have a bolt made for my tripod to fit to my mount they wanted £120 so I'm not sure how much they would charge. This is why I want to do it myself.

Yes I have a. 75 and the 1 the 0.75 are too fine for the bolt too close together. When I buy the set I can just put the one I started it off with so should fit.
