I had a quick look last night Gerry but The conditions were not that great

Hows the new SCT? Conditions here were excellent

Congrats Gerry :-)

great! looking forward to your first light :-)

I think I read that in "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" so your up there with the big boys

lol! I shouldn't have read the Anthroptic principle- who I might add, (your) Sir Hoyle may have proven....

"so who put them there"...they are there because we are here :)

I had second thoughts about that comment :-)

I'm still laughing Shaun, my old proverb has many meanings I guess! :)!!

Yes .... I guess it has!!

:) I might be out of cash now myself.... uh oh!

You could always sell the yacht Gerry !!!!

:) lol! all my water and snow toys stay :)

Great news Gerry...You have a liking for BCO's

Yes, good orthos must have for me :)

Glad to know they're up to jobs :-)

I need another EP case, hard to sneak in the house though lol!

You could pretend its for a holiday :)

lol! "Hello, I'm home! I just bought some new luggage"! :)

Around 50 deg, not a true ortho in the strictest sense, but it was a design consideration. Others say they work well on DSO- my 18mm does. Faint galaxies will tell the tale I think. I look forward to Jupiter in it too.

The 10mm Delos delivered the best views I have seen of Juoiter :-)

I'm comparing this little EP to of my 2 best performers,10E and LZ. My 18BCO barlowed at least equals my 8D on the planets... I like orthos though, some don't :)

More shopping !!!! tut tut :-)

Ummmm ya! Anyone want to buy a Delos? The collection will soon be slimmed down lol!

looks like there're toys more fun than EPs:-)

Great stuff, Gerry. Good luck Shaun. And finger's crossed, Faulksy :-)

Quite easy to spot at 20x ... now what to do for the rest of the evening

Awesome Shaun, sounds like time to celebrate....wine anyone?! lol! :)

Very nice, Gerry. One of my most used EPs is the 9mm BGO. Think you're going to like it, just watch out that in that freeze you have, your eyeball doesn't stick to the glass :-)

lol! good one Rob, just like a kid sticking his tongue on a hockey net post at 30 below :)

thats cold gerry, what do use to heat your optics, heated blanket. look forward to your report gerry as usual

Great news Gerry, still very poor here :-)

great!

The sun,the moon..... kind of mixing them up Shaun :) So great to see things again

Superb, really sharp Moon.

I think I've got it narrowed down now, I'm thinking its the sun... :) Not sure yet though, havn't seen it for a while

are there 3 wise men following it

called Jamie Ant and Grant

We had 2 clear nights on the bounce Gerry !!!

good luck

and it did! :)

great Gerry!

That is a good point. However, I have to set a good example :-)

A boss that actually works and sets a good example? WT F is that?! :) Your employees (and company) are lucky. I hope you gets some good obs in Shaun.

LoL are we that rare a species ? The weekend forecast is looking promising here Gerry so fingers crossed.

Quiet in Ontario at present then. Don't know if it was on your side but there was a program showing how you managed the odd little snow fall over there.

Nice day today, warm and great seeing. Yes the "Ice box of the nation" is right across the crick and we usually manage the snow. Frost last year was over 8' deep, many water lines froze including mine....

I think I did Gerry, But it may have been more of a solar review.... :-)

I am very impressed with the LZ, the differing colours of stars are quite remarkable through it which is something I hadn't noticed in the past. I am very surprised how good it is on Ha and TBH I cant think of anything negative about it.

Awesome Shaun! I figured it would be top notch. I'm seeing a ray in a lunar crater trying to figure out the name.... good seeing so far

Saw the sun today after quite a while of cloud. Hope you had a nice session, Gerry :-)

Good solar day, great nebulae night... :)

Hey Shaun, guess what-your right! :)

I know :-) ah well off to work I go.
