      Daniel, it was Great, didn't expect clear skies at all, my phone had been telling me 'Cloudy' all day. Jupiter was very bright. and it was nice to eventually get the new scope out. Hopefully we All get some more Clear skies soon. :)

  21. Peter, Thanks have been doing that. Jam1e1, have tried 2 different cables, maybe I need to spend more and buy a decent one . will the operating system make a difference???. Thanks for the reply.
  22. Can anyone tell me about updating the handset firmware please. I have downloaded the relevant files from SW, put them in a separate folder on my desktop. bought a USB to Serial cable. I can get the Loader up and put the update file in it. But when I click update or hc version, it pops up straight away telling me it can't find the handset. I've tried on a Windows 8.1 computer and a windows 7 netbook. both do the same error. is it necessary to update the handset?? or should I just leave it as is???. Thanks on advance for any suggestions.
  23. Well let's get out there, its a perfect night. I think :)

  24. I just wish we could have some clear skies :(
