      I've now got the 6, 9, 12, 15, 20 & 25mm mainly for the frac but they'll be great in the 200p too.. and I'm also looking at a 72mm ed for travel..

      Lots of clouds coming!

      Not yet DRT... I'm hoping at some point to buy yours second hand..

      Absolutely Jules... as long as that torch of mine hasn't blinded everyone and everything first!

  4. so at 2 am this morning a group of morons in a car drove through my front garden, totalling the good lady's car and pushing mine of the drive and into the garden, before driving off again.. its either speed or alcohol, but probably both... unbelievable and it was cloudy too, complete toilet of an evening!

      So the next course of action, 8" X 8" Oak posts every 4' across the garden, 5' in to the ground and to make them look nice 3" rope hung through them

  5. someone just landed an evostar90 for £50 ish on ebay... I think that constitutes a right bargain!

  6. Stripped it down and flocked it up, rebuilt and out viewing in under 2 hours... very pleased!

  7. Thanks to dobbie, the search is over!

  8. That's a fantastic sunspot this morning, if you can you should have a look!

  9. The double cluster looks fantastic tonight, however this fog back that is rolling in off the wharfe is giving me the hebejebies!

  10. The evostar 90 has just made my day.. I've got a good half dozen street lights 100ft away, and sat in the shade of a lovely thick Hawthorne bush I'm just chuffed to bits how we'll it's done.. The semi apo filter can have a thumbs up too!

  11. This errrr, this evostar 90 is kinda cute... Be interesting to see what it can do...

  12. 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.

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

  14. Tme to start the nursery!

  15. unboxing tonight..... :-)

  16. Well it's about time! After angering the gods with my SLV purchase its been wall to wall clouds.. tonight though looks as though my sentence is up!

      No luck again... all packed up ready to go to my dark site and the baby monitor went up like a Christmas tree.. an hour and a bit later little Oli was all settled again and I called it a night! Just a sickness bug we think.. poor thing!

  17. with the persistent dark cloudy days and night I think ive become adverse to the sunlight... which is currently actually hurting my eyes through the office window... sometimes you just can't win..

  18. yeeesss clear skys... it might be LP'd to heck but I went for the evo90 over the 200p and im genuinely pleased with the choice.. all smiles!

  19. 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

  20. I say this camera can rattle of some frames in burst mode... How I ended up with nearly 200 in that space of time I'll never know... Time to see what I've got!?

      I've brought my gear into work.. I'll see what I can do at lunch.. tempted to have a few frames at venus later, to see what I get!

      Just woke up...! I've been up since before 6...!! Still only another 30 years to go before I can retire..!!! :-(

    3. xtreemchaos

      that sounds cool mate a work /solar combie, that's multitasking. goodluck. charl.

      the seeings pants at the moment, but we do have some new action.

  22. Interesting this canon 750d will native focus with my 200p newt.. regular focuser too... thought that was not probable but don't mind if I do!

    1. xtreemchaos

      xtreemchaos

       have you tried it with a CC ?, I had too adjust my primery up the tube nearly as far as it would go to get enough back focus with my 1200d.  charl.

    2. Fozzie

      Fozzie

      I've not got a CC charl, never really had toone much need for one as it never really bothered me visually... I expect that will take my focus off.. need to see what the results are like with the 200p and the moon... 

  23. Just ordered a 10mm SLV to complete the set from 5mm to 25mm.. Will the 10mm Delos survive???? 

  24. Mount tripods and a big blanket make a great Den for a two year old to play in... no good for my back though, crawling in and out of that wigwam!

  25. Showing frames through the soup! Well I'm desperate, why else would I.. just for laughs I'll post what I get with the 433 frames on the moon.

      Ahem.... shooting not showing!
