    Power tank on charge - so, which scope to use? Skylight 4" f13 or TAL125r?

      you sold that sleek Alfa? what you got now?

    3. Marki

      Still an Alfa - Giulietta this time - gone back to petrol after my excursion into diesel ownership - and just as diesel is cheaper than petrol for the first time in years - doh!

    4. nightfisher

      The Giulietta is still a rather nice car, and it sounds like the gov are thinking about turning against diesel cars

      Same here. As it went dark, I got it all aligned and then clouded over within 30 mins. Went inside. Looked out when I went to bed and it was totally clear, so nipped out with my bins for 20mins :), so not a totally wasted night.

      all i got was a few widefeild shots just to try the ed and then it was just clouded out by1210am

    I can't wait to read your full review, Matthew. That sounds absolutely wonderous!

    That 6" f15 scope is a thing of beauty, Odd Thomas. Richard can certainly make a beautiful instrument. I'd dearly love to own one, but I fear it woudln't get used all that much. The Istar 150mm F10 I had for a few months was a bit too much for me to manage on a regular basis, and I kind of didn't get out nearly as much as I shoud have. That fullerscope mount is magnicent too!

    My contribution . This is my current collection.TAL125R Skylight 100mm f13 TAL100rs and TAL125R

    I hate this thread.... . Now I "need" more fracs!

      Yup - same here - but when it was shapr it was glorious - I was using my 4" f13 last night and it was way better (sharper/clearer - betterdetail) than my 125mm f8.9 was the night before

    T Tauri - easy split and a nice pair, but I don't see any green. Pale yellow and bluey white for me. Nice list though, Nick. Will take a while to work through

      hope it comes of marki, i just got back from a sort of dark sirte with the 150 mak, bagged M45 M31, Alcor/Mizar, the double double plus a handful of open clusters and split polaris

    3. Marki

      Marki

      Nice one Jules. I spent a couple of hours with the TAL125r, and bagged a few doubles and a smattering of Messiers. Actually spent more time with my bins, looking at the double cluster, M45 and so on. Good night :)

  25. Marki
