  1. Going to deepest darkest Ullswater in the lakes this weekend and suprise suprise after the clear nights recently it's going to be rubbish... will throw the 80mm in the boot though to be on the safe side!

  2. Those EQ5 pier extensions have got a bit of weight to them haven't they.... might need some gym membership at this rate!

      Yup and surprisingly solid as a rock with all the gear on top too. :)

  3. First time I've loaded the 200p on to the skytee2.. so far it's at least as good as the eq5, just easier to use.. I'm happy with this set up I think..

      I found this set up had way to much vibration at the eyepiece, hope it works better for you

      I went after a few globs, spent a bit of time on the moon with a 9mm slv need more time with it but I'm ok with it after the 2 hrs last night.. your welcome to take a look in august.

  4. set up for some white light, stepped back inside for second... fell asleep, bit dark now if I'm honest.

  5. You hear that? No? That's because the only thing to hear is sport on the TV, no nappies or babies or house work or anything... Just me, the sofa and a pot of cwwwooorrrfffffee. It's going to be a good few hours.

      That's how weekends should be when the Six Nations is on

  6. It's nearly 3am and I find myself asking... how the heck did I just break the lock on the patio door with my thumb!? I mean really!

      You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

      It's not even my door, staying at a friends B&B in mid Wales.... lovely sky's here!

  7. Oh wow the street lights have gone out... oh but it's thick haze and a full moon... cruel cruel world why do you tease so much!

  8. 4 hour session, first one in 10 weeks, im all dewed up but the little evo90 in the cotswolds has done me proud tonight.... happy camper!

  9. merry Christmas and clear sky's to one and all... (probably more so the clear sky's if I'm honest)

  10. This paternity leave is going to be no good for my wallet, short and long term, probably won't be too good for cloud cover either.. 6mm SLV and I was close on the 9 mm too.

  11. It's not at all irrational if it's green & black, despite the fact I already have a perfectly fine 32mm plossl.. ah who am I kidding it's a illness resulting in giddy episodes and contentment.

  12. Chores got in the way of my first light with the wedge and starwave.. maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky!

  13. lunt wedge has arrived, now let's have a look at this monster!

  14. A lunt dispatch notification... hens teeth i've been waiting for that! Might just catch that monster spot yet!

  15. Hot chocolate with a week dram of whiskey, keep the cold out while I'm hunting globs... It medicinal don't you know!

      Shame it doesn't take the same load! Would be great to put my 200p on it!

  18. Great night with the new scope at thrusts cross reservoir, it'll be fantastic around new moon!

  24. batteries for the rigel q dead... schoolboy error!
