    So look at the moon then. I know how you really love it. up now but hopefully clear at Galloway.

    Hey David better watch out for Ian 😂 Being serious though good idea of yours as Mike said about 19 registered with Lesley and David said 17 were through his Astro friends. I booked with Lesley nearly 9/10 months ago and Mike well before that.

    That is what I thought, but I am using genuine FTDI chips and it has happened when I was using a Win 7 computer. No idea why. I don't use EQMOD anymore, so not able to repeat test it now.

    When are you and Dawn getting there?

    Yup got one of those for at star camp to protect cables. Ended up tripping over it countless times in the dark 😀 Heavy to carry about but does protect cables. Derek

    I bought some like these just because they are flat and take up less space in a confined area. But I suspect they would not last long if walked on. Very soft and flexible but not hardy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Multi-Cable-Ethernet-Network-Patch/dp/B01FXSO6RG/ref=sr_1_19?hvadid=80058222453776&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=flat+network+cable&qid=1571232565&sr=8-19

    Never heard of Putty sounds good. One point about FTDI is that if you do use a different USB socket it can cause problems for EQMOD and the Com port. Easily sorted, but annoying if you have forgotten which USB port you last connected to.

    Don't forget the thickness of the filters will change the back focus. It depends upon the filter thickness and refractive index of the glass used. Most filters have a refractive index about the same. Some manufacturers filters are 1mm thick and others can be 3mm thick. So the effective light path length is changed in a system depending whose filters you use. As the refractive index of a filter can be around 1.45 the thickness of the filter affects the speed of the light and OPL is changed. So OPL for the filter is dn where d is the glass thickness and n the refractive index. A 3mm thick filter can change the optical path length by up to 1mm where as 1mm filter it is only about 0.3mm.

    Well time is relative ya know. 🤔

    Well boy-os, less tha 2weeks to go. It will be good fun to meet up with everyone again. Pie addicts as well I suppose.🤔 So we can expect P.E.A. to reign supreme and have to arrange a circle of chairs and listen to all that drivel about their childhood problems, being force fed pies by their parents I expect! Ah, well, if we can't help those afflicted poor souls........ 🤣 Never mind the rest of us can blot it all out with a dram or several. 🥃🥃🥃🥃 I think Mike was feeling sorry for the addicts and may bring a placebo pie or two. (Maybe stop the uncontrolled screaming during their withdrawal ). Oh the fun we will have. 😈
  14. Physopto
    I can see many, many hours of fun on the way. 😱
  15. Physopto
    For you, no !'j#{* chance. 🤔😂

    If I cooked a cake it would be the cause of my suspension failure. As Mike knows I have been working on a new control system for my gear as no caravan now. Just hope it all works as expected on the day, does not leak etc, oh 🌚 meant night of course! 🤔
  18. Physopto
    Looks like I may need to geta Deed Poll Certificate again! 😂
  19. Physopto
    Thanks Damian, I'm bringing some emergency supplies 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃. Oh, and a green scrubby pad 🤔
  20. Physopto
    It will be my first for several years. Can't wait to wind up a few souls!! 😂
  21. Physopto
    Mmmmmmmm, methinks 365 a year for 40 + years! ADDICTION.... for sure. Seek help and quickly,,,, or there will be none left for anyone else😡😡😡

    Breaking News ! The South Shields Astronomical Gazette has reported that Damian (Mapstar) has just joined P.E.A. ( Pie Eaters Anonymous). Apparently during his interview he stated "his problems with pies, started in childhood" He has fought the addiction for many years but he realised after perfecting his "22" pie measuring device", that he had to do something drastic to end the belly stretching problem. I am sure we all wish him all the best with fighting his addiction. Now Ian,,, What yer gonna do without yer competitive pal. 🤣
  23. Physopto
    🤔. Can't refute a FACT !!!! 😂

    Good God!!! Looking back through all the posts, been too busy to keep up of late, I have just realised I am classed as a "brown dwarf", I know I am short ish but ........😱 Looking forwards to seeing everyone.
