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.

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.

A friend asked could I make a Telrad heater had a look online for a few ideas came up with one using 3 22ohm 0.6w resistors in a U configuration and a 9v battery. I included a switch and a led so you cannot leave it on and run the battery down. It gets warm so just got to try it one night needs just a bit of glue to hold things in place and it's done. 20240221_112537.mp4

These met every week and once a member could go on a Friday as well so twice week so I have no idea why they ignored me. A friend on here went the same club and messaged me saying they have a click and if you are not in it they ignore you don't think he has gone back either.

Are you going PAS I am hoping to get there.

I come here for advice even after 13 yrs I still need help sometimes but I do have a bit of knowledge I can give other people. I have found SGL one of if not the friendliest forum out there. I have met and spoke to a few members and love conversing with like minded people.
