Merry Christmas to you too Mike.  

Excellent

I've managed to get one with the canon, it was quite difficult to focus but I think I've got it ok. Will post it later.

That'll be difficult to resist Lol

That'll be brilliant, your New Years going to go quite slowly then :) what are you going to put it in?

Mike, If u can't get the mag, let me know, I'll send it to u in a couple of weeks or so if u like. I'll only end up adding it to a pile on a table.

F3.3s a bit fast, & u need 2 people to sit the primary in the mirror box. I don't think I'd end up looking through it very often even if I could afford it :)

Yes & No, there's a review in the sky & night mag. It's the wrong price, seen in a thread it should be £11.999 not £1,999. The mirror would be more than 2k lol

So it's your fault :)

Perhaps, I still think other councils will be under more pressure to follow suit. Maybe they'll resist :)

It's totally wrong here too

Ah, saw your location as Herts, you must be at the observatory. Still lousy here I should stay there :)

Really, are you abroad -:) it's been lousy here.

Yes, contrast was quite good everywhere for short while. Got some good views with the bins.

It was very faint, could have been my imagination, but I'm sticking with the report -:) clouded up 10 mins later.

Just posted one :)

Very lucky, apart from about 5 minutes it stayed clear throughout the eclipse. A wonderful experience!

Hope it's clear Mike, have a great time.

I'd imagine it's quite a help but I'm not an imager.

I'm going to moan they've changed it

Mine didn't go off until 1 last night and midweek when I was out.

lol, I'll post a short report.

Great here too.

Yep, but I'll probably go in for a bit this afternoon. As nice as it is would like to get home now.

They've tried to butter us up with free food and drink. Stuck on here all night now, at least we've docked so can get off in the morning. -:)
