      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

  6. I don't know why every time I see a photo of binoculars I get dizzy :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.

  7. I wonder if a 12" dob will show noriceable extra details over a 10"...hummm

      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

      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.

    4. Pig

      Pig

  10. Wonderful night last night..unfortunately I almost fell asleep over the eyepiece....well, I had a long observing session the night before :D

      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.

    4. crashtestdummy

      crashtestdummy

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

  13. Gosh, I hate my red torch...why am I still using it?!!!

      I wouldn't be without my little red LED keychain, at first I didn't think much of it but it's one of the most useful accessories I have these days.

    3. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      I nudged it the other night and it stopped working...for the 5th time. So I'm replacing it...it was a free gift with a scope I bought a year ago...so. yeah!

    4. Naemeth

      Naemeth

      Get a new one. It's one of the most useful purchases I've ever made, this way I can see my pocket atlas no matter how much light is around.

  14. 5 new faint galaxies...and all Messier objects finally ticked...voila!!

      I've been going through NGCs and Herschel objects for a while..only recently did I have the chance to tick the last M objects - which most of them are boring by the way. :)

  15. Did anybody manage to bag NGC 7635 (Bubble Neb.) with a 6" refractor?!!

      emadmoussa
