They should, it's incredibly an unethical and honestly disgusting.

good luck and hope it flys through, Yes gazzumping is a down right dirty move you got my fingers crossed. and scopes to

Thanks mate!

That's one option :)

go glamping style two 8x10 sheds, one is the living quarters the other a observatory, a small half acre land on some mountain top = win and profit

Another option... :)

Don't like the sun :D I prefer the Daily Mail :)

Ah yes I remember, Spain did you in with the heat :-)

Yep...doesn't matter how British you are, if you were born and raised in a Med country, you'll find sun worshiping a bit retarded...to say the least. But yes, I'd like to have a lunt scope though...I'm still interested in solar astronomy....as long as I don't have to sunbathe :)

Thats a nghtmare - hope you get it sorted soon!

You didn't submit that toy hand grenade with the application did you ?

I did submit the hand grendate, Shaun.

Dan, I think..yes...my bank is a better option.

Did it cost you to apply ?

Green Umpa Lumpa...

lol I thought they were green! had to Google it and they are orange!! Well that makes two of us nuts! :)

There's the red Hulk...as close as it gets to orange. .

Only for now...I'll replenish once i've bought a property! It's quite painful to do, but what can I do?! :)

At least you have your priorities in the correct order Imad :-)

indeed.

mmm...ah well, we all know they suck at customer service.

I was going to buy the Lunt 60mm from them but by the time they answered my e-mail (2 weeks) I had already bought one from somewhere else!!!

I can be an authority on how sucky their service is. The products on the other hand are top notch!!

There really is no looking back once you've done it.

Although "100 years" down the road is a rather long wait lol

yeah...I can't believe by the time your mortgage has been paid you're too old already :)

Congratulations Imad - a scary adventure starting off, but ultimately a much more secure future with your own tenure. Sorry to see the kit up, though sure you will be able to get a few bits together in the not too distant.

Any chance of getting an observatory in at the new house?

Indeed sir!! :)

I didn't realise you could down size to high end :-)

I don't even have a clue what I'm doing...

it is true..

a cheshire needs some familiarity and practice..

I find laser collis hopelessly overrated..and inaccurate.

(apart from the barlowed method..and even then..)

I also thought the laser was the 'must have'..even got a self centering adapter..

But..the cheshire beats it every time...collimation spot on..

OK..it takes some tweaking and going backwards and forwards..

But the results (I feel..) are better (repeatabl...

did my text get cut off?

What's wrong with it Imad ?

I guess LP was less of an issue back then

Maybe it's the thread-hole object for his scope then? I could only see M65 and M66 with 130P

NGC3628 I think is visible through a 150mm scope ad s min...I stand corrected.

Move to Spain :-) Bear in mind, it's still winter and in the last 52 days & 51 nights, we've had about 10 overcast days and about twice that at night.

Yeah, I know the Med area. I lived there for about 15 years. Not quite fond of the summer heat though... :)

I think I could be coerced :-)

No comment :-)

LOL

Right young Imad I am off to vaporize myself again ahhhhhh relaxing times

too much sprouts?! :D

I must admit after my nice curry last and a couple of cans I am suffering from a fair amount of flatulence today.

Nice!!

ive heard people rave about flocking on here, never tried myself tho, id probably mess it up

I've got all the materials, but still in two minds about it.

let us know how u get on, fingers crossed for you buddy

Nice dude!

pics ?

Sure, will do photos. :)

It was a follow up on my latest inquiry. I gave them a nice review that they'll enjoy ..NOT

LoL, I had my first acceptable outcome in a long time just this month with British Gas :-)

I told them was nice to have some honesty and less cheating once in a while..and obviously they are incapable of doing so. They asked if thevanswer to my last inquiry was helpful. I said it was easier talking to walls... :D they asked to evaluate their service on scale from 1 to 10... I gave them -100..I think I was generous :D

That is very strange Imad, Am I missing something ?

I think it's a psychological thing. My last bins always gave me a headache whenever I looked through them. They were probably not well collimated, but also I might need to check my eyesight.

Are you not 1mpressed with the 10" Imad ?

It's a pretty good scope, but currently hit by aperture fever. There are some targets that require this...little bit of aperture to see :D

lol okies :-)

That was a sort of first light glimpse report. Waiting for the moon to go away...

I am surprised the moon is still there :-)

Indeed. All the negotiations..it won't go away...time to bribe!

With this weather and wind you will have to collect from Oslo.

The eyepieces are in the UK now. Unfortunately the person who's coming over got stuck in the floods and he's coming down on Friday...so fingers crossed.

Well at least the weather is Rubbish until then :-)

I have his boots are made by R.M Williams :)

LOL - so it was you then.

:-)

Indeed...I jinxed it for all of you.

you need an Obsy, takes me less than 10 mins to be up and running. Truely the best investment.

First thing to do once I bought a house in the next 100 years...

Petzl Tikka 3 brightness settings, waterproof, red lens cover £24 had mine 4 years now

Just get a bike light or head torch. Save yourself money which can go on more expensive accessories.

I considered a tikka but the energiser one is much cheaper,even from argos
