Great pics Nigella. Let’s me see what I have missed. I only managed 2 sessions in July due to the permacloud cover here.

You have captured some beautiful detail there Dave. Nice to see what I am missing. It’s been cloudy here all month. -

Hi John there is a little bit of a mixup here. Winchcombe is the latest meteorite to have been found after a witnessed fall in the UK. The Hambleton meteorite was a find. We do not know when it fell or how long it lay there. A known fall stone can often be seen as more collectible to some. Scientifically a fresh stone that has not suffered weathering on the Earths surface is also often a bigger prize. I know you have collected meteorites in the past and undoubtedly will know this but the two terms of a fall and a find can often be mixed up in the media’s reports.

I have a small piece of this fall in my collection.

BAA seeks your views about amateur astronomy

I have been a member of the BAA for 10 years. I do enjoy reading the journal but I have to admit some of the papers are way too technical for me to understand. -
A tip when working with fiddly components.
laudropb replied to ollypenrice's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
Great idea Olly. I use a garden potting tray which I line with a towel. I put the small pieces into a pill dispensing box which has numbered compartments and I take note of which piece is in which compartment. To be honest this was not my idea. I was in charge of an Electron microscope for many years and this was the set up used by the engineer who serviced the microscope.
