    Far from ideal conditions,had to get Jup and Saturn between 2 houses with only a 10 minute window,and not the best seeing,but after almost 3 weeks of cloud and rain,any thing will do.

    Nice one,I wouldn't trust some lasers either.
  4. paul mc c
    That's a great guide,have you tried a star test.

    Your sketch looks good to me and how it should look....the secondary should not be in the center,it should be off set,even more in a fast scope.

    That reply wasn't directed at your self......as i know from where you are that would'nt be the case,but then you did'nt ask the question,or i would have give a different answer.😉

    Looks good.
  12. paul mc c
    I reckon you could see it at 2.30,it actually may be circumpolar for us......but just.

    Hi Adam, don't have any charts, but just look below and to the left of Capela, about 20 degrees above the horizon and sweep with binos, you can't miss it, really easy with naked eye once found.

    Finally got to see it this morning,nice and clear horizon,but needed to observe it through the attic window. Couldnt see it by eye,but through 8x30 binos it looked amazing,lovely tail and bright nucleus,easily visible naked eye once i knew where to look from around 3.00am until 4.00am.

    Do you mean putting the adaptor in cement.

    Would be even better if the finder was right way round.....lol,had the 4" version and always regretted selling it. Of course the price would be a factor.
  17. paul mc c
    Thats normal in a straight through finder,nice scope,enjoy.

    Cracking image for such a short time,did you have dark skies?

    You should never clean a mirror with anything other than warm soapy water,never any cleaning fluid,and rinse with chemists distilled water.
