hobsey

Absolutely.. :)

I've been putting off doing it, I hate it that much.

Need to fit them tonight so I can fit the new underlay tomorrow evening as the new carpet is being fitted friday. :(

sorry, clear skies :-)

powered cross-cut saw & no more nails.....

Cheers. The set up will be a ST80 with a DSLR. And with my CG5 mount I can also do a polar alignment through the handset to make it that bit more accurate.

niceee! how can you do a polar alignment via the handset then mate? that sounds a very handy option, when you heading out then

Dunno, its a feature celestron mounts have. You align it the best you can through the polar scope, do a 2 star alignment, then do 2 calibration stars then do a polar alignment through the scope and handset. I will be setting up just as the brighter stars star to come through so I have a bit of light to level off the mount and use a compass to get true north.

My 127mak is a Celestron from a nexstar so the dovetail and finder is in the correct place.

thats handy, you will love the AZ4 i rarely use the EQ mount these days

I hope so. Seen I can get my C8 on there which is a result. That one I may have to move things around on.

Not to rub it in.... I did, thought it was lazy of me, but ive been dodging clouds all day just enjoying the sun.. looking for the best ep combo with the scope..

Defo agree, worth the money and nicely put together.

The film won't go to waste as I need it to make one for the finderscope.

I'm too paranoid about damaging the film.

wow that starsense looks a wicked bit of kit! 1st time ive seen it, really amazed by it! :)

Chin up mate, come through to the pub on thursday, lets catch up and make plans for a session. I think you just need a good un to get you buzzing. This terrible weather has made many of us question why we do this.

Yeah, I will be there Chris.

You decided against the Atik 314l?

Is it your fault that the met office is now forecasting a washout for the Easter weekend?

Nope, I point the finger at everyone else as the weather was showing crappy before I ordered it.

lunar glow? To which phase did they match the colour?! :D

Not Sodium Yellow then? ;-))

hope its fixable hobsey.

perhaps post on the d.i.y section will get some help.

fingers crossed for you.

is your C8 a pole dancer?

Apple.

Big Tesco store, or online at something like ebuyer.com.

No thanks to apple. Tesco is a good shout, won't buy on line. Prefer to be able to take it somewhere when it goes wrong.

Not too bad Martin, Yourself?No, don't need the funds. Just be nice to have some spare cash as I'm getting a new camera lens next week. It will be a good one for Wings and wheels.

I'm very good thanks buddy, had a lovely night out last night with a couple of friends at our local dark site :) spare cash? What's that lol :) ohh very nice, be wicked to put a face to your name at this years W&W :)

Don't worry fella, I will be there this year. Like wise, be good to finally meet you.
