William Optics products have a visual appeal to me entirely separate from the item's function.

I hope you realise that you have just extended the number of cloudy nights by a fortnight  😒

Sorry, about the clouds, but for me it will be well worth the wait

Lots of Ram, and SSD for storage, I have 16g ram, and 480g ssd and a seperate 240g usb SSD for storage

Min dual core chip or quad core would be better, and intel rather than amd or celeron

Plenty of wide straps on fleabay

Dont mine the spikes, seems to add a little too the picture

Thats better, 2" WO diagonal now fitted, all ready for action now

Good old dependable WO diagonal. 👍🏻

Works as well as any mirror diagonal I’ve found. 

got it at a bargin price and its mint, well impressed, it will do me

The last peice of the puzzel this morning, to complete the ED APO 

Will have a look on fleabay, really not intrested in photoshop, cant stand it, hate all microsoft stuff (says the MCSE)

After a bit of a wait I finally have the missing pieces to my mount rebuild and I got myself a new book.

Now to put all the bit to good use.

Saw a similar book on Optistar and was tempted, price £40, theres also one there on photoshop for the same price

50mm prime lens that certainly didn’t break the bank. Hopefully it’s half decent .......

 

Have seen those myself, for the price, worth a punt

Check out Camera Jungle, often a few bargins to be had

Very nice. Was thinking of a simillar one my self, but from Optistar so good to see the size and what it looks like mounted,

Good gods, thats a shame, always made a point of watching her

That will look nice set up together.  Health to enjoy.

Changes already, and looking much better, now has a Losmandy plate, not trusting this scope with just a little dovetail, & the guide scope now has rings

Guider is a little much for piggy backing, so planning on mounting side by side

Next to the guide scope I will be using (minus the finder)

Unboxing time

May not seem much to some, but  to me this is an event, this is the first scope I've ever brought new

Photoline 80/560mm APO FPL-53 / Lanthan objective

Getting ready for the box of clouds, couple more bits this morning

Just a little item this morning

Impressive, sadly I not savy enough or have the tools to make stuff like this

The little 80mm ED F7 frac is due for tomorrow
