jetstream

Congrats Gerry :-)

great! looking forward to your first light :-)

Nice!

Wow. That's mighty. Just to rub it in a little, I'm in t-shirt at midnight here, Mr. Jetstream :-)) But it's raining...raining, I tell you, RAINING :-((

LOL!!T-shirt huh?And now its clearing up-crystal clear...-25c on its wayMight try for dark site,we'll see

lovely, couldn't wait for your experiences :-)

finger crossed for clear sky!

im sure you will love it ;)

that's quick delivery, expecting your first light report.

did you get any images?

where abouts are you?

one of my greatest memories of Auroras was when i was 14-15, my mother woke me up to see the entire sky lit up, as we were watching the show it became very intense. the only spot of sky not touched by the aurora was directly above and in the shape of a trumpetting angel. the image has stuck with me for almost 20 years and i suspect it will for a great deal longer

And now snow coming

Full moon anyway so don't sweat it

Oh, yes, a more relaxing weekend for some lunar 100 catch-ups...

great!

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

Superb, really sharp Moon.

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"! :)

I bet you have the blackfly too, coldest I have exp in Canada was -52 in Alberta, warmest 35 in Toronto.

thats cold damien

Piles of blackflies..... Wikpedia has some stats for Fort Frances....record high 108 deg F, record low -49 deg F. We get Siberian winters with hot humid summers... we love fall :)

Happy hunting :)

Looks like a good combo to me, good luck :-)

Thanks Yong,I have one of Vogels maps which shows the brightest part so I can at least point the scope in the right direction....

Did you use a sun screen???

Believe me,I did.Great day,about 21c,nice breeze & lots of sunspots out to see

I swear I must be generating local clouds and somehow have the power to hold them in place. The only thing I can think of to explain it rationally (:)) is an outstanding Telrad riser I have on order...

I bought a 21mm Ethos last Nov.-then -30c for 3 monthsLOL!

Ouch... :)

Great! either the 7mm or 5mm will do it when it's steady.

Picked up a 5.5 Meade 5000 UW. Just superb.

perfect Nick!5.5mm is a fl that is needed here too!250x too much most times,but 218x would be better,congrats

I need a good camera for these times.i would have forgot about the scope and taken some pics to send...Crazy Northern lights this year!

I'd love to have my own pic of aurora as my profile

Sounds horrible. I feel for you ;)

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!!

Nice to stay in warmth. maybe can enjoy the white veiw with your 90mm?

ha,ha....:)2 more days of snow storm-I hope that the -30 is a clear few days....

WTG Mike :-)

I heard the 30mm edges out the TV and ES offerings... possibly best in class... both you guys are a very bad influence :) Which one is the favorite?

Its hard to say as I have never tried the XW 30mm, the T31 is excellent :-)

1 Dec here according to traffic laws. conpulsary winter tires.

It certainly has been a great day Gerry :-)
