      Only 10 more days of rain forecast Shaun.... :) ! This EP does look really good though, great build quality, coatings. It will be a great fit for solar too when seeing is sketchy- can't wait

      Once again I'll try the Horse Head neb... :) it was too late in the season last year for a good try. The 25mm TV and the 18mm BCO / Hb are the EP's that may work.

    3. Qualia

      Qualia

      Good luck on that one, Jetstream!! The BGOs and TV Plossls are seriously nice EPs and make wonderful additions to any eyepiece kit :-)

      was it the same issue bigmakstu had with his?

    4. jetstream

      jetstream

      I believe so, this is a fairly common issue. Leica wants the cap stuck good as its for fieldscopes.

  9. Raptor in a windstornm....90mm is doing great in high winds on solar,LZ wound out,great views

  10. Nice solar finish to the day :)

  11. Great solar,cell like granulation @ 240x :)

  12. Great solar.....:)

    1. Pig

      Pig

  16. 120ED,Baader wedge,Leica focus, figured out...:)

  17. Microbursts.....:(

  20. Bright and sunny :) Leica + Raptor is my best combo yet

  21. My collimation is very close!

    1. faulksy

      faulksy

      should be better than close, is this with your new coli kit ? whats it like

    2. faulksy

      faulksy

      how much did it all cost you in the end, did you use a cheshire first to confirm and did it make any difference ?. cheers gerry

    3. jetstream

      jetstream

      It cost me about 1/4 the cost of a SIPS :) Not sure about the difference,but during those brief moments of great seeing I'll know the scope is right on!

  22. I love solar

    1. Luke

      Luke

      sander lucioperca vs sander vitreus, a simple wikipedia search took 5 seconds......maybe give that a try :)

    3. ronin

      ronin

      Search Wiki using Latin ? I have enough trouble with English, and if I knew the Latin name I would have known of their existance. Do recognise the name Walleye but cannot recall them refered to as Zander. I see it is the offical fish of Saskatchewan. I'll stick to coho.

    4. jetstream

      Try wild Arctic Char if you havn't already-one of the best tasting fish out there

  25. leica zom has shipped...:)
