Despite my sig, I still have the Vixen...... having sold my AZEQ6, I'm hatching a crazy plan to build a mount for it before SGL11! Watch this space, it could be amusing

Blizzard...

The moon is taking 435x with the Zeiss zoom/VIP and the shroud lifted half up. Excellent seeing and just learning what this scope likes...

Spectacular lunar tonight, VG seeing.

My Televue 31mm Tye-5 Nagler monster has arrived... Lets play a little game with the demons of the astronomers curse... guessing game: how long will it be before I have a clear night to actually use it for the first time?

Down to the TAL and the Tak, biggest problem though is no clear skies!

Happy. Open clusters in Auriga :)

Success! truss poles cut and my 2 widefields now focus easily :)

42mm LVW on the way... barnards loop?
