Clouds and rain - a normal viewing evening for a once in a lifetime astronomy occurrence in the UK -
Have you not bought the Zarkov cloud gun from FLO to go with it yet ,looks like the perfect solution for you 😁 If not preorder the Hubble telescope it looks like they can get for you within a week according to their website and this will also be a way to avoid the clouds. 😀 Welcome by the way

I bought a binoviewer today from a local charity shop : says made by Astro Engineering , came in a box with pair of rubber eye cups and a single Meade super plossl 26mm eyepiece . Grand cost of £15 so I thought it was worth a punt even if not working Anyone ever used this make.If so what are these binoviewers like ,and what would be the best strength eyepieces to look to try. I am quite short sighted so would need something with quite long eye relief,unless I try without glasses. Many thanks for any advice Mark

be careful if you plan to by the "jumbo pocket sky atlas" - very good but you need very big pockets !!! 😀

Just ordered mine so I can join the club of Lego builders. For anyone who is interested Lego website says it is going to be "retired" soon so consider getting it before it becomes unavailable. The only question is should I get the lunar lander as well ? 😀 Mark
