    New slightly used Nikon D800. Megapixels all over the place.

      36, but probably looking at keeping the old APS-C camera for astromodification, if I can find someone who works on Nikons.

    Coma corrector just arrived in the mail.

    Scope is collecting subs, I'm listening to Wes Montgomery, drinking tea and watching the moon slowly rise over the fields.

      sounds like a perfect evening, apart from the moon of course :D

      Yeah I'm testing a timer remote. I think I'm getting slightly eggy stars unguided at 90 sec, but I'll finish up this try at M101 first. So this is more a test run at longer subs before my coma corrector gets shipped.

      Great Moon, huge and bright - not so good for the AP though

    A nice dark site evening with some astro-buddies. The clouds even waited a few hours before rolling in.

      nice, imaging or just viewing?

    2. VigdisVZ

      VigdisVZ

      Wide field imaging (see wide field forum) and fooling around with binos and a 60mm toy scope ;)

    Full moon, beautiful in 10x50 bins!

      what make of 10x50 bins do you have. I am struggling with my 20 x 50 mark scheffler and am looking for something else.

    Not one clear night in 3 weeks. Feelsbadman.

      Yep - it hurts. Only clear nights I've had recently have been when my wife had booked assorted social events...with no opt outs!

    NEQ-6 just modded to avoid bent altitude bolt! Feelsgoodman!

      Snap - I have today done the same thing to may CG5GT and put a ADM replacement saddle on it as well - can't wait to use it now.

  12. VigdisVZ

    Sun on the day, clouds in the evening/night.

  13. VigdisVZ

    FIRST LIGHT, ACHIEVED!

  14. VigdisVZ
