Inspired by this thread, I got a flight case from Maplin. Still plenty of space for my new TAL plossls and diagonal!

And here they are!

Hmm... still an alarmingly large space in the middle there, surely I don't need more eyepieces? Maybe a filter or two? Surely not...

I've had the last episode of Sky at Night on the planner all week, couldn't bring myself to watch it until now.

The last sequence, Chris is talking about the solar eclipse and turning to Patrick, says "Don't you wish we'd been there?", Patrick: "I wish we had", Chris: "Next time".

I just broke down, my heart broke.

Very sad news. RIP Sir Patrick and condolences to his family.
