July 29 was the peak of one of the minor showers that according to Wiki has bright meteors, just not many even at the peak, actually very few. Will say that showers and peaks seem to mean little in terms of what I can observe.

Oh god... not another BF COD clone...lol. I disowned BF after the pile of tripe BF3 was.

yes makes sense to go for the 400 as you say you have the converter so 800mm + crop will be very nice :)

oh is it! thanks for the beta, I all ways miss these lol, will check it out when I get home from work this afternoon

Old! I've got T Shirts older than that :-p

congrats!!

beyond a joke isnt it buddy :( thats why i really need some bino's to make the most of these tiny little gaps of clouds we have :(

I know the feeling mate, we got a break last night but by the time I'd put the mount on the tripod it'd gone........Along with my patience.

Mine was already set up when the clouds broke :P Still, the views were pretty bad.

It's rainy as well, if that makes you feel better ;)

loool no saturn for me this morning :(

It is now about 5 miles away from me lol, but the items have gone from 2 to 1..... I hope one package has not been lost on route...

not with flo mate, they are the best of the best

Yeah my two items from FLO are the heq5 and an eqdir cable, u could imaginey face if only the cable turned up lol, I have faith tho FLO is great :)

yes its quite amazing how many DSO objects the moon hides from us isnt it jake :( im dying to get down TH one moonless night now jake, hope to see and meet up with u guys veryyyy soon :D you had many chances this week jake to do a bit of imaging?

nope no chances for me martin fingers crossed for late next week. we have an obs night planned for saturday if your up for it

sounds good jake! have to see what time we get home tomorrow, what time were you thinking of getting out there for? lots of cloud tonight :(

hey it's more fun than mowing the lawn!

I know, I was taking the pee. The way you worded it for anyone that doesn't know sounds like the bulb has as packed up in the fridge causing you to have fridge darks or dark fridge.

DOH! lol i see what you mean Anthony lol :D :D :D

I hope you won't give your hobby a cold shoulder after this.. :)

No, don't do that :-)

what are you getting stuck on iksose7?

Hi andy no problem at all, ask away when ever you need to andy :)

When it trys to solve it just goes on and on and on. Is it not only supposed to take a few seconds? I uninstalled it the other day because i want to start using it with my new scope. But when i installed it it said something about failing to download something. How do you add catalogs to it, do you know Martin?

mine takes roughly about 100 seconds, im in no rush tho even if it took 5 mins id be happy so 100 seconds is great in my eyes :)

check this tutorial out, i followed this and had no problems, really good tutorial :)

I want to play!

Oh well, that didn't go to plan :(

Think you need to treat yourself to that dome which is currently on eby.

id love to have the sky for a dome, i have to travel 30 mins to get to my dark site :(

I'm hoping that the clear skies forecast for tomorrow night are not too windy here in Wiltshire - getting desperate for a fix of AP!

jammy!

:D
