  2. I really should browse the imaging forums more often, wonderful images.

  3. That's looking really good thanks, bookmarked. Very handy to have the moonrise/set times right alongside the forecast. ISS passes are another nice touch. I'll add a link to it from the Caradon Observatory site.
  4. EQ3-2 & RA have arrived! Have bolted on the motor and all seems to be working fine.

      Thanks. The plan is to use it for widefields, but I can think about getting a small scope down the line. :)

  5. EQ3-2 & RA motor on order...

      Thanks, I'm looking forward to putting my camera on it. Maybe further down the line I can think about a small scope.

      Well, I was aiming for M51 but got M101 by mistake! It's dinky, 5 mins in total with my 50mm lens, but it's clearly a spiral. :-)

      Wayhey! Fab... I've yet to see the ISS :(

  9. Great thread, wonderful to see what can be achieved with relatively modest equipment. This is the kind of setup I'd buy myself, but as a flat dweller it's not really practical.
  10. Nice images, and very helpful to see what is possible with the 130EQ mount.
  11. This weekend I discovered that my 4-year-old nephew can now beat me at Mario Cart.

      He will soon learn that if wants a decent xmas pressie he must resist the temptation to beat you at Mario Cart!

      Gosh, why everybody is better than me at this game...even the 4-year-olds.. :)

  12. Warning: tangerines fight back.

  13. Became an uncle again early this morning. Mother and baby doing fine. :)

  14. Took a trip to Hadleigh castle.

  15. Went to bed healthy, woke up crocked.

  16. lamb stew in the slow cooker awaiting my return home.

  17. The ability to pause and rewind wildlife would be a really handy photography aid.
