  1. I didn't know it was that good Joe, can I have it back....🤣😂 It is a very good seat and I am pleased that it is exactly what you wanted,so enjoy it Joe....

  3. Yes, it pulls you up at first doesn't it..😅 Mind you, it would be fun listening to a 'flat Earther' explain that one away..🙂
  4. My feelings exactly. I will be going on a long visit to Australia and New Zealand next March principally to visit my daughter and her family and fully intend to spend time under the darkest skies. I am already investigating Astro observing opportunities with larger instruments that could not be taken with me, and in truth I don't want the bother. In 2019 I was able to observe under Arizona sky with a 28" DOB. Dedicated Astro trips into the Bush are available around Alice Springs. It makes my decision simple to make. I would select the 152mm f8 refractor sitting in my dome, as the one to keep.
  5. Stu...I will check my medication just in case I can NOW go shopping...😁
  6. Only four now I have just sold the Lyra Optic 102mm f11 In my signature.. It will be different again after PAS...😁
  7. Must try that, I'm good at seeing nothing just lately....
  8. But no worse Stu than spending hours in the cold hoping to see a barely visible smudge of grey. That, my wife cannot understand...😁
  9. And you can't spell his name correctly...Mr Peach....
  10. You should definitely add M81 & M82 and M51 around Ursa Major Magnus, but I'm sure you know that already...
  11. Ok, thanks John. Our Astro society has a meet on Sunday at a location out of town which has the same Bortle 4 sky as home, but no blasted light pollution close up so I will take my dob there I think, along with a 13mm Nagler (92x) and have another crack at it...🙂
  12. Well, I tried last night with my 6" frac and my 12" Dob for at least an hour, probably longer , I didn't look for anything else , and failed dismally ! To be fair the fog did set in half an hour after I gave in so the transparency wasn't great, and once again my neighbour left her outside light on all evening.... I was using my APM 20mm 100 deg ( 60x ) so I can't have missed the area. What sort of mag. is needed for this one ? To be continued.............................
