      I'm thinking solid over flex - solid would fit across the back of my car still. But which one? SW? GSO? OO(!)?

  4. I'm starting to worry my 130p will look inadequate at Astrocamp...

  5. Nova Del 2013 - Check! Naked eye visible in Reading, when you know where!

  7. I continue to love my Heritage 130. I know it's not a 250 - but it still offers some satisfying views.

      Aye, I understand aperture fever. I think I'm thinking along the same lines as Alex - sometime upgrade to a 10" - a big jump. I agree, the focuser is the weak spot - that and the single secondary support.

      Will do, if I get a chance to take it out - real life is taking up a little time at the moment, and it was a bit hazy last night anyway.

      Yup, I was pleased to see it as gibbous, but where are the rings / bands / moons / flaming volcanoes / Deathstars?

  12. Sat waiting in near darkness (to get my night vision adapted) waiting for skies to darken soon. 14 Messier objects are on my list of targets for tonight - not sure whether I'll manage any but I hope I do. Will write up if I get some good observing done :).
