    Summer has returned and one of the advantages of working part time is occasionally having three days off during the week, so off I've popped off for two nights in North Wales. The sky has cleared as forecast, the beers are flowing and I'm hoping for some pre peak Perseid meteor action. I've also brought the 10x50s too. Fingers crossed I can stop drinking the cold beers (The Coleman cooler box is ace), not fall asleep and enjoy the rural sky. 😀

    A nice big pitch all to myself.

    Does anyone else forget something every time? I forgot my pillow... 🙄😴

    aside from the Theakstone's, the impressive thing (genuine) is how you got the picnic table with bench seats into the back of the Skoda! ;)

    The most logical thing to do is to get the HEQ5 mount and try the lens for imaging since you already own it. Then if it doesn’t meet your expectations get an ED80. Or am I missing something?

    Nope Toothy, you are not missing anything, that was exactly my first reaction. (ps any news on T/Brush)

    I do have a 150-600 Sport but have not tried deep sky, Moon is good on static tripod so give it a go at least.

  4. Hmm, just remembered I have an old EQ1 or EQ2 in a cupboard. :)

    From your pictures above.

    The shiny sliver bolt thing on the opposite side to your hand controller contains a piston with an internal spring that forces the piston head against the casting thus giving resistance to the hand controller opposite.

    The spring can not fall out on its own, nor can you see it unless you dismantle, but you may possibly have crushed it.

    2 mins, unbolt it and pull out the piston to check the spring, bit like a bigger version of a ballpoint pen.

    In your bottom picture it is the silver item top right. Nothing special about the spring that I can see in front of me. A good hardware/engineering store most likely will stock something to replace it if required.

  5. This is probably why I don't live up to my name, but if it is the £22 filter in your classified I wouldn't bother with the % at your end. The buyer will already have a reasonably hefty conversion charge from Euro to Sterling, but you should go to your post office with the item to get their charges before agreeing on a price with the buyer.

    ie your £22 could easily be £40 inc signed for postage at your end.

    Regards Hassle, there isn't any at all within the EU or Euro zone, but that may well change for you fairly soon! :(
