Excellent Imad, I am staying up until the clouds drive me inside

Wimp - retiring so early, who needs sleep when the skies this good! Seriously though good haul ;)

I was so tried even non-fuzzy blobs seemed fuzzy. To be honest, the main reason was testing the new Skywatcher EP. I'll write a short review soon.

Me too......trying not to laugh that is ;0)

I knew there was some sort of tax, but not £30 for a product that cost me £65.. tax and shipping was more dxpensive than the actual item...buggar!

always pays to do the research before you commit to buy.atleast it sounds as though you weren't hammered by royal mail for sorting customs out

what does it do ?

Everything you want - make tea, coffee massage... :D

It's a manual heavy duty mount that allows you use two scopes at the same time and can act as a grab and go.

Sounds great

I'd like to keep the C11 - but would like a big ED refractor which costs a fortune literally...one of those days I'll get a Skywatcher Espirt 150mm - then the wife will throw me out on the street :D

lol - buy a lighthouse then you can have the top floor as an observatory

Good idea...

I noticed - though a real wrench to part with the C11. Have you got a build planned?

Not until I have managed to buy a property - probably 2-3 years if I@m llucky

Do you means a sort of pillar/tube to add to the mount to give extra height? I have an EQ3 mount that has an extension of about 15-18 inches on, the top is made to hold an ETX scope. Came from Scope and Skies and was I suspect made by Astro Engineering. No idea if they do, or did, an extension to hold the EQ3 head but cannot see why not.

Yes, that's what I mean. Do you have a picture and or a link?

Go with the Giro lll

I'd only go with the Skytee if slo-mo controls are important to you.

I think that's it until Monday now :-)

yes, that does it...do you get upset the next morning after a screwed up night? :D

LOL not really, but it is very disappointing :-)

It was even very faintly visible from my light polluted garden - a rare treat indeed!

can't really compete with an average sized - 8"-10" - Dob

I've got a C11, it can't comfortably compete :) But I really have portability in mind.

Sorry, can compete

Him and Matt damon were great in Dogma

Dogma is a good film.

Blue & nakeds good!! :D

Congratulations, and the bonus of extra trainings of moving the whole setup :)

Thanks.

Hopefully it'll allow me to get out more often rather than being put off by the effort involved in taking the big rig out.

lol you do make me laugh :-)

you have the north american the veil m57 theres m39 qutie a few in cygnus are you visual?

Yes, visual for tonight.

Cygnus is about the best, whatever is in that should be more or less straight up. Well it was last night at mid-night.

I think on my Mak & SCT the image for for left and right reversed when I use a diagnonal.

Meade ETX scopes have a rather small correct orientation straight through finder but I've never seen anything larger.

That uses a prism btw

Post a pic when your done :-)

I'm done, will do that tomorrow .

That sounds interesting, I think my ASI cam can do that

would you all stop buying stuff for at least a week!.. ha

I didnt buy anything for a month. Plus, I learnt I can achieve sky timelapse with my DSLR, so...no video camera. :)

Ive managed to keep the same picture for ages

change mine as almost-often I do my underpants...

That's a nice thought, Qualia :D

I got my Maxivision 34mm in 6 days

Finally got the 20 & 24 after 12days mate so hang in there.

OK, ,fingers crossed.

Now I have the big project of opening my damn SCT and take the rogue nut out ... feaking out already
