Absolutely beautiful scope and setup, Stu. I’m sure you’ll have many a memorable night with that!

Good advice, even if a little later than anticipated ? -
You'd be more than welcome to Stu, I know you'd look after it Truth be told, I've not even had a chance to look through the thing since buying it :s

Cheers Chris, they are lovely scopes. I look forward to mustering up the motivation, and getting the time, to use them again soon hopefully.

Haha... Stu, that set of fracs have been sleeping in their cases in a cupboard for god only knows how long! I'm not sure I even remember how to use them anymore :S On a separate note, I simply attached the pic and hit send. When the page refreshed, it looked like I had written a novel... This new format sure makes my signature look like that of a pompous prat!! Hope you've all been well.

Super fast satellite?
Joves replied to epaddict's topic in Observing - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Plenty of people have probably caught it on camera however, considering the majority of cameras pointed at the sky are taking long exposure still images, it'll show up as a streak as regular as any satellite caught with a ccd. -

Funnily enough, I saw something very much like this only just last night. I was outside and looked up at the sky, thinking it would be nice to see a meteor or something (an absolute beauty was seen burning for over 10 seconds across our skies only last Thursday), when all of a sudden I noticed what looked very much like a low flying satellite, but travelling much quicker than any others I've ever seen. Will be very curious to hear if anyone knows what it is/was. It literally travelled across the sky, from zentith to horizon, in about 20 seconds! -
Excellent report, as always, Alan. Please don't put silly thoughts in my head, such as Pentax XW additions to the Ethoi, though please!! You may be a fair way away, but if you think my wife won't track you down, you'd be sorely mistaken!!! Aaron

Funnily enough, last time I went into my local shop, they actually did have less on their shelves than in that pic
