jetstream

And now snow coming

Full moon anyway so don't sweat it

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

Think a breeze on Monday might clear the cobwebs away.

What makes it worse is that the weather is being blamed on the Jetstream ;-)

I think I picked a good name!lol!-maybe I'll fish one last time in the boat.....

I got 'im-were gonna see!

Looks bright enough to glow in the dark.

lol!exactly what I need!shouldn't lose the bird anyway...

Because we like to share  

What’s ours is yours Gerry ?

Thanks guys...?️?

I always read intructions...

...after!

Are you having some reading to do after recent storm-orderings?

LOL! I just got the Catseye instructions & am reading the method carefully...!New book coming too,that one will take a while to absorb.....

How long for the last little bit though Gerry? You can almost touch it now!!

lol!

I'm going to go get it in an hour....

Crikey, now that IS exciting

Nice one Gerry?

copy cat

did you get it from don at cn ?

I ordered it from a CDN vendor Mike, lucky to get them.

And Yes I did copy you

Yet more snow Gerry, expect that you will be continuing to ploughing your road access, unless a snowmobile has become the only means of getting around. Perhaps a settled period of clear skies will follow. Strengthening winds and snow forecast here for at least northern UK.

and the weather is coming from your neck of the woods gerry

Your welcome for the weather guys

Yes I just got done ploughing with the ATV, its fun actually. The lake is a big slush hole so no fishing yet.

Cool stuff Gerry! Also here there were festoons, but above our heads!

Nothing but puddles here Gerry

Clouds....

I can see the sun today! Clear skies to you Shaun

The daytime was very sunny & pleasant Gerry and I was hoping to catch the planet alignment tonight, but alas, the clouds arrived just as work was over

Nice one Gerry. I love the close ups of the lunar surface as all kinds of detail becomes apparent :-) are you seeing the 3D effect ?

Shaun the detail and 3d around Copernicus is simply amazing, a few hours were spent along the terminator. The seeing has allowed some very sharp high mag viewing and Sirius is easily split at 101x... The orthos/VIP did a great job jousting with the zoom for first place. Trying to stay up for Jupiter.....

It all sounds pretty fantastic Gerry :-)

Way to go Gerry :)

I was sweating bullets for a while.... but they all turned out exactly the same length, used a hillbilly jig lol!

nice one gerry, wont be long now then

Nice one Gerry ..... I guess you will have to try a few and let us know how it performs on each of them :-)

Ummm, I meant the Lumi UHC... not a good sign I mixed them up already :)

:-)

Nice one Gerry.

I have just returned from Italy, some wonderful thunderstorms :-)

Italy again huh! Well I changed my mind on the car...I just watched a 'Vette blow the Ferrari away on you tube :)!

LoL ...F1 is slightly different :-)

I've never seen it but its on my bucket list. :)

They are a fantastic siight, well worth seeing Mike.

I have still to see them also, I will one day

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

Excellent news Gerry :-) Is the field stop of the Zeiss a good match for the Quark ?

Yes, the largest for the Zeiss is about 19.5mm, the Quark 22mm or so. This eyepiece works very well for Ha, but more time is needed for in depth comparisons. The eyerelief it tighter than LZ it seems though, we'll see how it does with the reducer- preliminary results with it are good...

Well that is a very promising start :-)

Nice :-)

The Quark rocks in the SW ED100 and ED120 :D

Absolutely Luke :) I had the mag dialed in for a 3d, fiery liquid like view... the proms showed fine thread filaments twisting though and off them. I didn't know visual Ha could be so good actually...

SLVs are no reason to cry

That's the problem... I may cry if they outperform some of my other EP's lol!

LoL I don't think you will be disappointed with them Gerry.. Very good eyepieces

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 :-)

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:-)

I saw it this morning absolutely huge

Awesome Shaun....3 more minutes to wait!

The moon is red!

:)- can't wait for first light report!

i have the bgo and its very good love them

Awesome Mike,can't wait to try it out on the sun

Lol, very good day today with the sun :-)

I am going to get burnt if I am not careful.

Good one Shaun!LOL!Enjoy the sun....I'm going to go shovel...:-(

:-) Enjoy

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... :)
