Don't forget the tomato sauce ;-)

Love yr new avatar! I feel hungry...

That's brilliant, Shaun. The Spanish expression, "Tienes Huevos", takes on a whole new twist :-)

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 :-)

mike:-)

Yes Yong.... I am on a mission at the moment:-)

I am experiencing a mid hobby Crisis :-)

Oh Rubbish!!!

Just been using the AA tonight they really are good finders :-)

Are you tantalizing me ? :) I talked to Astrononomia, apparently my finder won't be delivered before Monday. So much of ''quick delivery'' as they say... arrgh!!

Nor me Gerry and thank you :-)

Congratulations Shaun :-)

Thank you young Yong :-)

Meade 5000 rebrand

Maxivision 34mm

2 inch 68deg

1/3 of normal price

Aha, that's a fat one :) Have you seen my 35mm Baader Scopos? The largest EP you could handle :D

lol - I'll take a look :-)

It seems to take it in turns with us all, its been quite pleasant this week here, I didn't book a bad week off work so I cant complain.. I have just about warmed up after last night but just to make sure I am off to the steam room soon :-)

glad you had a good time. they have given a heat wave for next week

Thank you Mike, I saw clear outside shows lots of green :-)

I don't blame it taking its time with all this cloud :-o Hope it's here soon, Shaun, plus some sun!

Cheers guys Im sure it wont be long... Not sure Gerry, It was supposed to leave the US on Wednesday

It will be here soon Shaun!

Nothing I just changed my mind and decided to buy a new one as apposed to buying second hand. There was some minor damage on the body so I decided against it.

Can't wait for the first light report Shaun!

Nor me Gerry, I am still on holiday so hopefully it will be there when I get home on Saturday.

Hiya Luke,

2.5mm = 200 x in the Equinox so its on the Limit (240 is the max according to the literature) It is purely for Lunar use.

The 3mm setting on the zoom was easily achieved so I do not think an extra 0.5mm will overcook it.

I only sold the Nagler zoom because I have dedicated eyepieces to cover the same range and it seems pointless having more than one to me (tight wad attitde)

I will let you know how it performs

Thanks, Shaun, I look forward to your account :) I think the 2.5mm would give me 240x with my 85mm scope and I think it would be okay on the Moon, things were looking tidy enough at about 190x. The main problem I have is Sarah is not keen on higher power viewing, so it's a bit harder to justify splashing out! But I definitely would like something with more power than the 5mm...

Luke the 4mm SLV is also excellent on both the Sun & the Moon :-) However, head positioning is about the same as a high powered Delos

Yes.. I am surprised steam can dry them :-)

Or maybe your tears got vaporized..

I am way to tough for tears :-)

All together an Pronto attached

Have a play let us know :)

just taking some pics

Very poo service from a supplier called Opticstar in Manchester

I bought two mounts from OpticStar...always next day delivery. What happened?

I have done a supplier review - I cant explain what happened Imad or should I say what didn't happen

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 !!!

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

It might be clear in the early hours tomorrow morning so I might wait up

Thank you young Jonathan

Is it the last one ? :)

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 :-)

I have always loved looking at the sun :-)

First rule in astronomy..dont look directly at the sun thtough your telescope. L OL..

I will try to remember,:-) Its turned up alredy.

How fast was that.

I have moved house Emad :-)

Excellent choice!

Thank you young man :-)

LOL, I just got an unexpected bonus from work, paid for the holiday also, so the Mrs is well pleased with me

Lucky you. Having said that though, I've no Mrs so can spend whatever I want on Astro stuff ;).

LOL My Mrs is great she does not mind what I spend and it is my money after all :-)

I think its all of our faults :-)

I blame you too :)

lol, I believe you too have made a couple of purchases my good friend !!

Yes - Great views tonight

Yeah, I managed to put everything back together last night. But couldn't go out as by the time I was done with dinner and chilling and baby entertaining it was almost midnight and time to go to bed. Anyway, the wife is keen on seeing Saturn. Or in her words ''she's more of a planets person''. So fingers crossed will try the C11 on Saturn. Did you see Saturn in your new scope yet?

Too beautiful ...same here in Namibia ....!!

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

That's great news, they seem to have very good reviews

wow that's what I call a fast delivery.

here's hoping ;)

Ay, what fun you're going to have with that mate. I just love using Lunt's Wedge and observing the Sun each morning, doing a little sketch, or what have you. I finally managed to find myself a cheap Continuum filter this week and what a difference this makes after using an 81A & 11 for so long to get that green light affect. Variable polariser is also a good move if you haven't got one :-) We should write up reports on our wedges :-)

I have a polariser coming with it :-) A write up will be a good idea, I wish I could draw as good as you but my skills are limited to matchstick men and I don't think that works with the sun :)

And the fun begins :)

Has to be one of my favourite EPs. Hope you enjoy it :-)

Thank you guys - I will be able to have an input with comparisons now :)

WAKE UP!!

Steep

I just woke up :-)

la la la ...la la la...tum tee tum..bazinga!!!

Are you 2 feeling ok? ha

LOL
