It's the Synscan app if you or I go on star then named star and type in any star say Capella it will bring it up and you can click on it, on Neil's either the keyboard doesn't come up or when you can search type in the star it does not show up to click on. It's really strange I cannot get my head around it. If he then goes into skysafari 6 clicks on a star says its not above horizon it said Dubhe will only rise at 11.35pm obviously wrong, I said is your date/time/location wrong but they are all correct it's really frustrating especially for Neil.

Go to this thread when Neil tries search stars they dont come up although they do on mine and his mount refuses to go to any stars in Ursa Major and Kochab but will go to Polaris its really strange its like the app has only partially installed but works up to a point.

Sorry no went back to dentist yesterday got very strong antibiotics says I have a dry socket and the infection is not under my cavity so he is worried could be in the bone sent me for xray said I may need specialist help. I am shall we say worried in language you can write on here. I look like a hamster with two or three nuts in its cheek.

Another great session Doug thank you for posting.

Cracking report and a great read thank you for posting.

Brilliant Dave and two lovely scopes I really like those tripods.

I got the pup in my 127 but I did put Sirius right at the edge of FOV to block out most of the glare.

Well done Stu amazing catch.

Brilliant Doug really great read and session unfortunately I have not been able to go out after today may be a while as well depending on what the xray shows.

Well done it's great splitting those tight doubles thanks for posting.

Great read I've had some really good nights but unable to go out due to a dental problem which the cold exacerbates it.

The Starguider`s you will not be disappointed with when I had my 200p I had the 8mm 15mm (in my opinion the best of the bunch my goto eyepiece now) the 18mm and 25mm had some amazing views through that with those eyepieces.

Just spoken to Neil the Synscan app now says if he puts any stars in Ursa Major in they are not at a latitude he can see them and Dubhe rises at 11.32pm got to be something wrong with the software been through all the settings the only thing different is his location which is obvious.

I have only just spotted this I am so disappointed I liked gaining new astronomical name like "super giant" 😥
