    Very ethereal. Good job!!
  2. All the way from Hong Kong...at a great price...
  3. Thinking about grabbing a 6mm or 4mm as this is the gap in my EP collection. If they're as good as their 100-deg wide-angle EPs, then you've got yourself a winner.
  4. Ahh, the most useful machine never eases how much I hate doing laundry.
  5. Mind you, it may not impossibly bad given he's much higher than street lights and signs.
  6. Hi David, My main driver is a Telrad. I bought this to fit on a small refractor. Haven't tried it yet, but it's certainly lighter and, obviously, much smaller than a Telrad. The Telrad can be adjusted/aligned fairly easily and quickly using its native knobs. This RDF, on the other hand, requires a hex key (provided). But I guess, once calibrated, it should stay - more or less - aligned.
  7. PayPal gave me a £15 bonus (not sure why), allowing me to order one without feeling it in my wallet . It's mainly for your 100ED, Ian.
  8. Ingenious design. Split'em in half, and give me one. We both will have a 20" Dob
  9. Haha... I don't drive, ergo a motorway ignoramus. Lol
  10. Yep, that's why I find the 8-incher, although very nice, a bit frustrating. It's just...well...not quite there. As far as I remember, you use 12 and 16 inch Dobs, right?
  11. Certainly. What I initially found confusing and, perhaps, frustrating is that my current house location has higher LP (class 5) than my previous house (class 4). I could swear the sky looks almost identical in both locations. I struggle to see objects like M56 here in Glossop, but...that's because, obviously, I use an 8-incher whereas in my previous town I had a 12-incher. As Neil says, LP is probably measured based on the nearest city. I have Manchester about 20 miles to the North West and, I couldn't be bothered even pointing the scope lower than 50-deg in that direction. All other directions are dark. Then, of course, the house, as Sod's law has it, is right there blocking much of the darkest spot towards the East.
