Nice and the Met says its going to be clear all night!

oh yes! :D

Welcome back we missed you lol !

thanks lol, good to be back :D

jammy!

:D

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 :)

Do you live in a cave?!!

lol

its a lovely scope :) not cheap with the carry case tho but well worth it, and its like free money with the rebate :D so WIN,WIN

Don't think the other half will see it that way.

I will say to her she can do what she wants with the rest of it as long as I get to buy my imaging scope first.

lol :D good luck

Congrats!

Thanks for the grats everyone :) he's so cute lol

Congrats all round, busy few months ahead, but on the plus side you can change filters/targets between feeds ;)

aligned through partial cloud, no point in even trying to guide with this cloud tho :(

Maybe. I will have ago at widefield photography first by bolting a camera to the top of the scope.

i do like a bit of widefield imaging, think ill next have a go at widefield when the summer milky way comes

well thats me polar aligned and star aligned, just need to wait for Andromeda to come round now to start guiding

I saw it as well. Managed to track it with my dob. Looked kind of like a very bright tie fighter. No detail though visually, just a lot of light!

i never bore of looking at the ISS, just dying to get a detailed image of it now lol instead of the normal wide field line streak going across the frame lol, will be having a few more goes tonight hopefully if the clouds behave

I caught it as well, I think it was brighter than I ever seen it before.

DOH! ,,,,,, i mean sunrise lol

:D :D :D Do you travel back in time?!

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

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

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

no more trying to align the mount with notebook in one hand, with eye up to the eyepiece trying to click the keys on the notepad loooool :D

Nice! Just remember, it is a telescope and not Halo!

haha :D lovin it :D

SCOPES out cooling now, MET keeps getting better and better every time i refresh, by the looks of it i should get atleast a couple hours from 10pm to 12am tonight :D ......... going to attempt to get as much data as i can on M101 :)

Mine is out too, although clouds coming in from east. Trying for a long visual session with Mars tonight, trying various magnifications and filters.

yeah not sure if ill be wasting my time getting guiding up and going and trying for some subs DSO subs...... one option could be to do a star test (very boring) or try some planetary imaging on mars with the QHY......just dont know, good luck with viewing tonight tho mate
