-Aldebaran-

for saturn i wos useing15mm ler with 2xbarlow i was just about to change to the ed80 to take some pics when the clouds roll in"sods law" m13 is fantastic have you tried m5.

M5 is on my to-do list along with M3.

i found M5 by chance while taking a wide field shot i then spent the rest of the night looking at it, ive got a pic of it in my gallary if you wont to look its only a 15sec snap but i think it shows a bit of detail.

nightmare mate. didnt think us blokes read the distructions anyway

I didn't really need instructions, doing fine until I figured there's either bits missing or I NEED INSTRUCTIONS

You collimate my scope an I'll put the cot up :)

The Lumicon UHC and explore scientific 82° 6.7mm

What do you expect :) ?

Exactly!!!! Time and space are not the only intertwined entities!

new primary centre spot to ease colimation and set my sips up properly hooray

you need to come down soon mate

When are you next at home, I'm off for the weekend?

Lovely stuff... Very interested in a review on this if you please sir...

nice one, and clear skys as well

Find there is no point in really planning, weather is just too unpredictable down to the localities we need. The Met office idea of Clear is not I think our idea of Clear - have seen a weather map of sun symbols and a figure of 96% in the cloud cover column. Maybe worth geting half prepared. Best to have a small scope for when the chance occurs.

To be honest, I don't think there is a right time to start up astronomy, especially in the the UK as we don't really have proper seasonal weather. So unpredictable.

This weather is getting hopeless! And it's typical because I've been out of work since buying the scope and the weather has been awful. As soon as I start my new job next week and get less time I guarantee the weather will clear at night!

the moon is out, worth a quick peep and mars

I believe that cloudy skies is in the small print with every astronomical purchase!
