  1. I am seriously thinking of selling my 5" refractor and buying a biggish dob 10-12" dob, I regret selling my 8" reflector to this day.
  2. A warm welcome back to SGL
  3. Right I've just measured the wall thickness on the telescope side of both my diagonals one a Altair and the I think is the skywatcher one. As you can see from the pictures I'm losing 9mm in the Altair and 7.8mm in the skywatcher.
  4. Superb Nick looks fantastic, I was talking to a couple of very informed people last night and from what I said I could see from here they think instead or bortle 6 skies I have bortle 8 no wonder I cannot see M51 and the Leo Trio wish I was there to see such beauty. Enjoy yourself and keep the pictures and reports coming.
  5. Might be because I have long fracs wind easily moves them around.
  6. I went out last night but that breeze was blowing my scope all over the place so I just packed up. I was going to do Bootes very similar to your list alas it was not to be.
  7. Sounds absolutely amazing and that vista is outstanding truly beautiful.

  13. Supposed to be clear here tonight but somehow I have torn my groin I can hardly walk need a stick just in the house, painful is a understatement getting up and downstairs is a nightmare. Just my luck I am sure I have been cursed or put a hex on.😀
