      its been a bit hectic at home for the past few months, much to do and not enough hours in the day to get it done...... mind you the poor skies haven't helped :happy7:

  2. Pig

    Stu,

    I have been holding on for the 10mm, if its still available I will take it.
    If its available send me your bank details and I will transfer the cash over.

    Thanks Shaun

  3. Enjoy the food Jules :happy7: We may be treated to some new year clear skies on Sunday night, so you never know a good session with your new scope may be on the menu too..... Happy New year to you and your family.

      Luke

      Double congrats then :) :) I am just too lazy to use a barlow though I find it handy on hols with reduced EP selection, maybe I should look at a zoom though?

    3. Pig

      Pig

      The only zooms I have had full joy with are the very expensive type £350+ !!!!

    4. Pig

      Pig

      And a zooms field stop,if you want to use it with the Quark, is important.

  13. 20mm Pentax XW definitely on the way :-)

      Luke

      Two very nice goodies for not crazy money :) I know shadow method is fine and costs add up, but in the long run the finder works out good value.

    4. Pig

      Pig

      All I will need is the small dovetail adapter for the finder you showed me Luke

      Hoping for improved control with the dual set up :-)

      The AZ4 is a bit tricky to balance with both scopes on -- not in the Goldilocks zone as it is.
