      Now all you want are some binoviewers, and you can start all ovr again. :-))

      Lol....my wallet just fainted :)

      I am with you on that mate. I keep looking at a decent setup to enable binoviewing. My eyes water watching the cost spiral up. Personally I will stick with cyclops viewing and get a decent frac instead.

    Heritage 90 Mak nearing sea trials. RACI on so now just waiting on the beefy tripod. Happy days...

      Well, I can say the Beehive looked beautiful using it, so I'm hopeful... :)

  6. ghostdance

    At last! Rupes Recta... and then clouds, but so what... Finally found The Wall :)

    Dammit, every time I get ready to take the scope out, my shoulder acts up. Can you spell psychosomatic? Eek...I gotta condition!

    1. ronin

      ronin

      What/when did you do something to the shoulder?

    2. ghostdance

      ghostdance

      Christmas - cocktail shaker fell apart mid-shake. Quite a jerk. Shoulder's getting better but taking ages...perils of drink eh? :)

      You can't go wrong ! My 11mm, 15mm, 20mm & 25mm are used all the time in everything. Pure quality.

      Absolutely agree chaps :) One more TVP to go, then I'm done.............Eh? Did someone whisper 'Naglers next'? :)

  9. ghostdance

      Thursday night seems to be the best bet for us witches to get our broomsticks out! My toad told me....

    4. Puglets

      Puglets

      My broomstick is out and I am flying!!!! Great viewing tonight :)

  11. ghostdance

    Listening to Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra - so evocative of night!

  12. ghostdance

    Why o why do we call it (planetary, deep space) work when it's so gloriously play?

  13. ghostdance

    At last this evening, Uranus! Tiny and a bit dodgy but....my sixth planet :)

      I was elated when I managed to see Uranus and Neptune on the same night. Only PLuto to spot, out of my reach with my 150p though

    3. ghostdance

      ghostdance

      I fear Neptune may be too much with my 6"/F5 in home skies. But I'll give it a go!

    4. orion25

      orion25

      Go for it! I saw Neptune and Mars together in the same telescopic view a few days ago with my 127mm Mak. It's still not too far from Mars (a bit west). It's a cool blue little orb.

  14. ghostdance

    My skies tonight......ohhh, nadgers, why bother...think I'll sit outside with a brolly & see if I can at least hear the ISS go over....

      LMAO! a poor show to say the least.

      Excellent - that made me properly chuckle!

      I did think at 9.15pm this evening, oooh it's getting darker earlier. So, when we get some clear weather, it will be good!

  15. ghostdance

    Pleiades last night with 10x50s, they finally made it over the chimneys - a *lovely* sight. I've missed em! Roll on Autumn Skies.

      You bet - I'm pretty chuffed seeing as it's all nudge-nudge!
