I will have to get there one day in the process of looking for a car as I am struggling getting in and out of the vectra, It's a brilliant car never put a foot wrong but needs must then I need a new tent the Berghaus one was brilliant but was too big once in the boot struggling get anything in with it.

It was a Meade EMC 127mm which I had put a skywatcher dual focuser on, I should never have sold it really.

I've seen it once in a 5" Refractor I put Sirius A on the edge of the FOV.

Brilliant book I have had it for years.

Funny you should say that I've got a hoddie my mum has sewn extra to the hood using special material so it doesn't flop so I will try that. Although I've not been out since the 1st week in December weather has been awful, only clear night has been on a night when there has been a full moon. I am hoping to get to the PAS this year.

I have been told I can split Tegmine with the vixen something I have not been able to do with the Tal if it does split that I will know what I will do.

I was going to buy a lovely scope off a member here but this came up and with all the reviews I jumped at it, if it is as good as everything I have read I will sell my Tal. Should receive it in 3-8 days cannot wait what do people think.

Those are really cracking drawings and mostly done with a 4" I'm bortle 8 so I doubt I will get all of them. I have had M42, M57. M13 was like a smudge and I couldn't even get M1.

Be nice to see what they look like through a 4 or 5" Refractor obviously going to be smaller and from light polluted skies.

My will to live.

To be honest very easy I have had both my big toenails off the two toes next to them and now the middle toes, These were stinging a bit yesterday but are fine now I go back later to have them changed. I am not phased by needles at all you have two injections in each toe at the top to numb it and you need someone to take you and pick you up as if you have a crash you will not be covered by your insurance although that is in the UK not sure how it works in the USA.

Yes I've used it for ages.

This piece needs to be attached you won't get a view without it. You can use either a 2" eyepiece or use a 2-1.25mm adapter like the one that is on.

It made me get rid of my 10" Celestron Starsense as I couldn't see anything. Stick to my refractors at least they can punch through and I can get doubles and triples.

These are the 5th and 6th I've had off not that bad actually only stinging a bit until I got home and put my feet up.

I had two toenails removed this morning and was told to keep my feet up to aid the healing process so I have not been able to go out with my kit. Really cracking pictures.

Absolutely fantastic drawings, the spots are brought to life really brilliant.

A warm welcome to SGL

Tal 100rs Herschel Wedge 25,20and 15mm eyepieces with a polarising filter. Taken with a S21

I have just got some pictures in my Tal 100rs with a Herschel wedge .

When I took my 10" apart to flock it I put a piece of electrical tape on the tube and the primary mirror cell. I had read you need to keep the mirror orientated the same way. Whether that is true or not I dont know but I did it anyway.

A warm welcome to SGL and that was my first scope had a load of fun with that.

Once the secondary is in place unless you drop or severely bang the tube you will not have to adjust it again, you will only need to tweak the primary.
