It can only get better......:-/

That is interesting, does that mean you get the same visual effect but with lower power ?

I suppose with such a scope a high mag EP will just over-magnify and thus compromise contrast..

Yes

I've got one of these on order - very excited! :-)

Keep me updated,mate. Happy for you :)

Will do! Not sure how long before it arrives but looking forward to it!

Surely a company that size has someone to act in his absence !!!

Exactly...

patience is a virtue at least its cold and cloudy

I take it your EQ6 hasn't come back

i wouldnt try scope might fall and break ;)

No, it hasn't come yet...they're just taking their time obviously. The so-called Skywatcher engineers...

Lol

Do you have a Crayford dual focuser ?

I'm not sure, Shaun. But as far as I know the focuser is very smooth on this model.

Hopefully i'll counter ur 'spite pusrchese ;o) & sell my scope.....that'll clear the skies.....until i get my dob then the clouds will roll back in :(

Steve, how's it going with the dob?

I'll pm u mate.

Now the clouds will clear :-)

Until the mount has been fixed, I will carry my fracs on my shoulder...

:-)

I think the last scenario may have occurred ronin.........

OK, bad luck last night...my mount broke down...what a jinxed night!!!

At least the other options didnt happen :)

Saturn i'd say

M3, M5, M13, M92 if you fancy a glob

Sorry, I meant deep sky...

yes, M3 will be a great target. Thanks!!!

I'm protesting for a few month. Last winter has totally pee'd me off.

It gets worse when you have so much to put together for an imaging session for example. If had a nickel every time I spent at least 45 minutes setting up and then...bang...clouds!!

Forecast here. is clouds for the rest of the week.

They are normally quite good !!!!

Where's that?

I've had the NEQ6 for months...I just received a new frac :) Waiting for a clear sky for a test run.

Best of luck, looking forward to first light report

Thanks, Michael. Will surely do. Will write a report on the build and characteristics today. With many images of course :)

Hmmm I know that feeling at the moment mate.....

Except, I sold my 200P and will go refractor instead.. :)

Yep, popped my head out the door, beautiful clear skies, had something to eat & started getting stuff together, then my girlfriends voice,'Steeeeeeve......'. Total 100% CLOUD!!!!!! *@@@****@@@!!!!!!!!!!!!
