Pig

Just 3 Imad 2 fracs and an SCT I also have the Quark Chromosphere

Is it the 9.25" Celestron you always had?

No Imad I sold that quite some time ago, a 150mm OTA I use it on a giro. I only use it as a lunar scope.

Lol..I'm happy to take a streelight down, but not a tree...they're good at blocking some of the direct sunlight in summer away from the already over like bedroom :) a bit of trimming won't harm though :D

oven like

LOL ny brother has the same with trees, they block everything on his right, trees are very cool and should be cared for

nice one shaun, when do you hope to receive it

Thanks Mike, Around Wednesday, but I am not sure if it is a Stock Item. FLO are generally very consistent :-)

nice one, lovely bit of kit. look foward to sum pics

I saw the Lyra one this morning, its also on ABS

It's about £50 cheaper from TS...699 euros is about £655..

£50 is £50 when all is said and done,that's almost a star diagonal for free :-)

I might even play them against each other

I've been censored! LOL.

Good luck with your first light :)

LoL :-)

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

I am eagerly waiting for the scope & mount to arrive.... so many delivery vans turning up and driving by....sadly none of them have been for me

Oooh! I am most interested in how it compares to the 80mm for you, Shaun! Have fun

Thank you Luke I will let you know as soon as I get the chance to use it.

Envious of the both of you. :p

Enjoy your scopes. I'll get one one day.

Good luck, mate. That's it for me...I'm completely penniless now :D

Thanks all.

Imad your off your rocker man. LOL :-)

Zoltan owes me big time

I am sure you will love it.

I'm not penniless yet :-)

Oh fab! Well here's hoping for ya :)

:-) thanks

Uho....watched Sunshine last night, hope your new scope doesn't turn you into a "space smeagol" like captain Pinbacker of Icarus 1!!

Thank you Alan,

I was on Astro buy and sell when it popped up :-)

Imad, that's not a bad idea, it will suit the Lunt when I get one.

I am thinking of the AZ4 also

I can sell you my ES..

Lol I know. I'm planning ahead.

Infact Imad Is a TV newbe until Monday / Tuesday next week :-)

LOL - indeed. I'm on expert on Hyperions if you get stuck though :D

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?

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

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

Give or take a month :-)

Look forward to hearing your opinions, Shaun :-)

I am looking forward to this one Rob :-)

LoL Should be here Saturday :-)

Thanks for the good weather by the way :D.

I did think of that funny enough, it is pouring down here :(

All depends on your generosity :)

Well that is the only sticking point, my middle name is " sorry I cant help you" a very unusual name I must admit :-)

LOL

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

excellent - I cant complain it was clear last night

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

Just ordered the Sky-watcher SWA 3.5mm -- will be the first to deliver a review if I had the chance. And yes, I bought the Mrs stuff to cover up for the atrocities in teh bank account :D :D

I might get the maxi 24mm 82deg, just waiting to try the focal reducer first:-)

Might be another month before I can lash out again, but definitely want to get the ADC for Jupiter and can't wait until Christmas!

Does that make sense ?

Yes, makes perfect sense :)

Excellent :-)

That's like the one I have..

It's heavy though, is it not?

To the contraire young Imad,I am pleasantly surprised just how light it is

Achieving focus might be an issue for some scopes, SCT's will be fine I guess as they have light years of travel.

My Dob comes with a focuser extension just for cases like that...so far don't have any issues...

That's good news then :-) Preparation is everything young Imad

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

(293.75x and 391.66x)

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

Emad what is your 11" focal length ?

Not a wedgie :-)

tidy shaun, weres the pics

Hiya Mike, I will add some after the football. :-)

And cover it all with wall a floor units ?

probably the area around the cooker and behind the sink..

All 4 walls Imad top to bottom - and the plaster behind would have been new - now I need to re-plaster, as Mr T would say "crazy fools"

An Equinox 80ed Pro

Awesome,I hear they are great.Did you sell the Pronto?

I have the SW ED80...great optics...pity that it is going to cloud over..;-)

The Sol-Searcher I have makes life so much easier. The filter is also very useful

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.

Cheers guys, I used the voucher from FLO :-)

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

LoL Its just a quick grab and go, the lighter the better for me :-)

Shoooooot! :D good stuff.. we need a review.

Im quite looking forward to using it all :-)
