      That's a shame, weather is holding up here though, not wall to wall clear, but plenty of clear sky :)

    3. Pig

      Pig

      excellent - I cant complain it was clear last night

    4. Naemeth

      Naemeth

      It's just started to cloud over slightly more, I'll wait a bit before I go outside, see if it clears properly.

  5. 20mm Pentax XW definitely on the way :-)

      Naemeth

      There is actually a big difference between 8mm and 6mm, especially with Shaun's scope :)

      (293.75x and 391.66x)

    3. Pig

      Pig

      Yes its quite surprising just how much there is between the 2, who would believe 2mm could be so big :-)

    4. Pig

      Pig

      Emad what is your 11" focal length ?

    4. Pig

      Pig

      LoL only if you want one young Imad :-)

      It was as it goes, well only one showing in stock but that's probably a sales technique to make the buyer think it is :-)

      That's brilliant. You'll absolutely love it mate. It's almost welded to my 102ED. Surely the best RDF that exists...

    2. Pig

      They were out of stock and I believe they come from the US of A.

      Sounds like an additional 2 weeks from what I can gather !!!

    3. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      Well, the weather doesn't seem promising for at least a decade to come...so no need to rush :D
