    1. ronin

      ronin

      How do you cloud watch at night? It's dark, well except for the light pollution that would illuminate the underside a bit.

    2. tingting44

      tingting44

      only kidding lol i could not imagine a more boring hobby lol

    3. FunkyKoval35

      FunkyKoval35

      Hehe. No clouds for all day in Liverpool. Now, I see plenty of them going to cover entire sky - how sweet :P

  6. Mhhhh thinking of selling the 130-PDs and getting an 80ed.....

    2. ronin

      ronin

      Is this for imaging, transport, size, weight, clubbing moles, the hell of it?

    3. tingting44

      tingting44

      The choice is purely for imaging

  7. how come everyone has gone ISS crazy all of a sudden? lol

    1. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      for me ISS = I don't care :D

    2. hobsey

      hobsey

      Its just that time when it comes over often. Its just the same with planets, jupiter last month, mars this month. Just had my camera delivered so I will be trying to capture it tomorrow evening.

    3. tingting44

      tingting44

      lol it orbits 15 times per day so its not going any where, well it is......1 big circle, id get dizzy up there,,,,,not that id turn down the chance to go up there :D

  8. BIG changes for my astro setup............. :D

    1. hobsey

      hobsey

      Is it because you have got fed up with the guiding?

    2. tingting44

      tingting44

      Totally the other way round lol..... I AM going to beat this guiding lark!!! Just getting more efficient equipment....HEQ5 & QHY5L-ii :) :)

    3. hobsey

      hobsey

      I keep on putting off buying the qhy5l-ii. I will do soon I think.

  9. time for the HEQ5!!!! muchly excited! :D

    1. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      Whohoooooooooooooo!!

    2. tingting44

      tingting44

      mhhhh you got me thinking about the NEQ6 now you bad bad man lol

    3. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      I'm naughty, aren't I?! :D

  10. i wonder how nights of the year we actually have a cloud free night? must be a VERY low % :(

    1. Pingster

      Pingster

      Very very few, thats why i recommend goto for beginners. Sometimes you have only 30mins of clear sky, and a goto can mean the difference of seeing somthing and seeing nothing at all.

    2. tingting44

      tingting44

      yeah its not as simple as point and click with the goto as i was expecting before i bought one, but once your use to it and the night sky its better :D

    3. Vince1963
  11. Wish the delivery driver would hurry up too lol delivery is stated from 10:58-12.58 but i got to go to dam baby scan at 12:00 grhhhhhh :(

    1. Moox

      Moox

      That's a different kind of delivery!

      emadmoussa

      I know the feeling... :)

  12. have we got an APOD here? we should do...

    1. JB80

      JB80

      There used to be a fairly big pic of the week or month section encompassing all the various imaging sections but this was stopped. It was really good but I gather it was a bit of a faff to organise.

    2. JB80

      JB80

      I think the other thing is it can create a competition type thing and really some people are more sensitive than others, nobody should be afraid to post a pic because they don't think it is up to standard. All imagers are welcome here and I like that.

    3. tingting44

      tingting44

      yeah a pic of the week or month would be good, i can see it being a bit of a competition too, but that is a good thing sometimes, and your right all pics are welcome here

  13. finally got myself a dew strap and controller coming! not that ill need it now, but will come in very handy next summer :)

    1. Ant

      Ant

      It'll be useful to keep the frost off too?

    2. tingting44

      tingting44

      good idea! :D for those frosty night when im out doing timelapse or star trail shots :D

    3. astronymonkey

      astronymonkey

      Id agree, now is a busy time for my dew controller with the damp autumn days and cold nights. I only get about 30mins without dew at the momemt unless I have my secondary heater on. And I agree witht the frost issue, 2 weeks ago at kielder my gloves were sticking to the frost on my scope but I managed all night wih a clear secondary.

      cheers
