Sooo how long untill you chop the OTA in for a bigger one ?

there is no way you gonna be able to pretend this your MAK!!

Nice buy gary, where did you get it from? 

hi Craig

are you intending to use celestron as guide scope? bit more focal length than mine 400mm

Thats not a bad idea adam

The wedge and a new piggy back mount for xmas. The old piggy back wasnt ideal as it connected to the diagonal adding to much wait to the optical chain!

shame ive not had chance to get out with it all yet

Now, im recently converted to the idea, it would be spectacular

I happily stand corrected also

From the show last night it sounds like it would be as bright as a second sun for a couple of weeks, it will be interesting if it blows during our wintertime it could be like an Artic summer with permanent "sun" light for 24 hours, image what would be left to observe once it settles down.

I havnt seen stargazing live (ever) but people in my office have been quizing me about this, i honestly do not believe that it will bright enough to light up the sky.. Plus it may not happen for many many years...

And like said above i like it where it is

you guys might find this interesting, its the last naked eye supernova recording
