    Welcome Pauline hope you find the site interesting. There is a lot a to see and learn on here. its a great forum. To the mods. I can vouch for Pauline she is a close friend, as i know we have had trouble lately.
  6. Hi Pete yes. i need to start watching the weather its been awful, so have taken a break. But will get going soon i hope Cheers
  7. Good to see you getting some Jupiter images Kostas. And nice results. Its been so long since i tried, i am in for shock elevation wise.
  8. Cheers Steve it was the 178mm. which isn't particularly sensitive. But slightly larger chip. If you mean how easy it is to get on a particulate area ? its the same really as any scope. yes it weighs a ton. But i am using the EQ6R. If you mean how well does it track. that's mostly polar alignment. And balancing. The better both are, the better the tracking will be
  9. Cheers Stuart when seeing allows. These big mass produced scopes can perform clearly
  10. Hi Simon. Thanks. Good to see you. Yes the mono version of the 462c A great all round camera both in the UV and especially IR. its another one of those tools that can enhance what we are trying to do.
  11. I had the 8.3/4 Darkstar many years ago great scopes. Can you see any initials on the primary anywhere ? David Hinds made the mirrors for some of them. A very respected mirror maker. I met the guy who made them when i was down in wales many moons ago. A nice bloke loved hes astronomy. I second the flocking advice. When you finally test the scope let it cool outside for a hour or longer to give its best. Some of us have fans on the bottom to speed up the cooling process. Will watch this thread, nice find
  12. 8" F6 dob all day long. A 6 " F8 dob would give the 5" Mak some stiff competition too.
  13. Appreciated Roy. Compared to the 12" My old back prefers it that's for sure
  14. Part of the thrill is pushing what limits we set ourselves can achieve. Not in a arrogant way. But in a hopeful way. The cameras now do spoil us though agreed Cheers
