WAKE UP!!

Steep

I just woke up :-)

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

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.

Have you got them all then?

I've been censored! LOL.

Good luck with your first light :)

LoL :-)

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

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..

Congrats!! Great top tier addition Shaun

Thank you Gerry :-)

I think your house is worth robbing now since you reached the qualifying quorum :D :D

Give it a shot tonight and let us know. I'm thinking about a planetary piece myself. :)

Okies Emad, its a tad cloudy but a soon as I get the opportunity I will :-)

All together an Pronto attached

Have a play let us know :)

just taking some pics

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 !!

Not a wedgie :-)

tidy shaun, weres the pics

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

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.

Cheers Yong I was looking at some reviews and I came across your comments on CN, it helped make up my mind:-)

where from shaun ?

TS germany

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

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!!

Nor me Gerry and thank you :-)

Congratulations Shaun :-)

Thank you young Yong :-)

brilliant

Thank you Mike, hopefully it will be here soon :-)

:)

mike:-)

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

I am experiencing a mid hobby Crisis :-)

Well, I'm pleased to hear that, Shaun.

Thought you had been a bit quiet recently so glad to see you around some more.

Yours aye.

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
