  1. Brilliant report just shows you don't need a light bucket to view some great objects, lovely read thanks for posting.
  2. Fantastic Nick cannot wait for Hercules come up at a decent time some cracking objects there some I haven't seen so will be jotting them down thank you.
  3. Did the card trick EP side is 41mm and as I measured before the scope side is 47mm quite a difference, Ep side is 1 and 5/8 and scope is 1 and 7/8 both not 2" as advertised. So it seems none of the 2" diagonals come close to the 50mm they should be.
  4. Just measured one side of my Altair lightwave on the Telescope side its 47mm but the eyepiece side I cannot get my gauge in to measure.
  5. What a great read thank you for posting some cracking objects in there as well.
  6. Yes a EQ5 belt mod would be greatly appreciated so I can still use the handset.
  7. Where did you get that chair from please or if I was looking for one what would I look for please.
  8. I have had my fair share of milky skies over the last 3 weeks forecasts where wrong in every app I used. Great report it just shows that in even not very favourable skies there are still plenty of objects to be had.
  9. Great report Stu how is the AZ100 for accuracy at finding the objects.
  10. I am so jealous from home I cannot pick out M66,M65 or M51 for that matter and I have a 5" refractor I must go to a dark site if I can find one close enough especially now with fuel prices.
  11. Wow what a haul sounds like a cracking night for fuzzies.
  12. Wow brilliant read loads of objects there I would love to see through my scope, on the cold front I would have my fingers and toes dropping off at those temperatures, I have just bought some insulated boots and I wear heat holder socks it says they are 3.2 tog but even -1 my feet are cold. Thankyou for the post really enjoyed it.
  13. I think you meant M65,M66 and NGC 3628 as the Leo trio but I knew what you were talking about I would love to find somewhere close to me so I could get a chance to see these through my scope. Great read and thanks for posting.
  14. Wow really jealous M51 is my nemesis I really need to get to a dark site. Thankyou for the report
  15. Glad you got out and saw some really nice objects great read.
  16. If you ever need lists let me know I have a multitude of stuff.
  17. I bring mine in put it on the couch with caps off then replace them the next morning I'm always up first.
  18. Great read glad you got to see colours like I did there are quite a few really lovely colourful doubles and triples out there always plenty to see if you cannot get the galaxies in. Paul
