      I'm hoping to do Astrophysics at Cardiff University. Not sure which course would be best yet though.

      I know what you mean... I've spent weeks complaining that I need a clear night, and the best night in a long while comes along - when there's a full moon! Typical!

  13. I leave for Tae Kwon-Do under beautifully clear skies and when I return all I could see was clouds!

  14. The BBC says that the weather could be clear tonight...... and there is a full moon!

      I have been trying the lunar 100 map. Just the other day I was searching for the straight wall (15) but couldn't see it so I think many of the items on the list will need some more shadow.

      Well, I went out yesterday and had an amazing time observing! I focused mostly on Jupiter with a n 80A filter and got the most detail I have ever gotten! I think I even saw the great Red Spot!

  15. You can still take stunning photo's of the moon. Just have a look at my results with an 8" dob. (Gallery).

  16. The weather forecast is painful to look at!

  17. Finally seen some DSO's with the 200P dob!

  18. Finally seen the moon through my 200P dob! I need to start hunting DSO's!

      Just dont ever look through moonshanes 16" dob, or you will have proper aperture fever

    3. Ganymede12

      Ganymede12

      The views through Matt's 12" are stunning. I think the best way to avoid contracting aperture fever is to enjoy the views through your current scope and to look at your wallet accepting the cold hard truth that you simply don't have enough money!

    4. Ganymede12

      Ganymede12

      The car's damaged! I hope it get's fixed by tomorrow!

  23. I will get a Skyliner 200P...... eventually.

      Just think how amazing that first light is going to be. :)

      Stick with it Ant, it will be worth the wait.

    3. Ganymede12

      Ganymede12

      I know it will be. My only problem is.... there's a wait!
