Just set the sky box to record it !

Now finished  both the Hubble and Shuttle and pleased with both. Quite big  so now need to find somewhere for them to go !

Anyone got this and   made this yet  - just ordered  my set and awaiting delivery

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

I use the Celestron eclipsmart 10x42  solar binoculars and find them quite good for white light viewing

Hi from someone who grew up in Farnborough as a child and now lives in Kent 

I got some wheels for my cpc1100 which means I can just wheel it out the garage. The wheels can lock .I would have to say I would  find if too heavy to carry on a regular basis

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

Recorded yesterday and watched it today - very good

I saw one last night and 2 that I wasn’t sure about

Finished

Just ordered mine online , free patch and  Lego racer as well 😀

Going ok so far

Mark

It arrived today  - rather daunted by the number of pieces of lego !

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 

Very pleased with mine , use it on a CPC1100, and updating the firmware (when needed ) is fairly straightforward

Just signed up myself as well

So far so good,weather sunny with occasional cloud. Mercury approx 1/3 across the sun now
