Made the mistake of putting my Dob into a cupboard. Out of sight and out of mind. Dammit. Anyways, the universe is kind of scratching at me. feeling the need to spend hours in dark shivering on my own. >sigh<

Wow! It's hot today. Perfect for the beach.

Wow! Just goy home from a stressfull shopping trip to find an email from Astronomy Now telling me they have published my M42 image in the January issue :)

Seriously starting to get fed up with this weather.

I know there is still 2 and a half months left in the year but I'm beginning to think winter 2014 is going to be a write off.

First light ! Good times :)

Televeue 25mm Plossl on its way

Jupiter is quite high now in the mornings!

Stephen Hawking is in Tenerife this week and they're just about to show his talk on prime time TV (translated, of course). Be back in an hour :-)

Greeting s fellow gazers from newbie Roy

Im still " Buzzin " Very first view of Jupiter this morning .....Its been 20 YEARS since i last looked at jupiter through a scope !!!!!!!

....

Hi, I'm new to astronomy & this forum. After a lot of reading I purchased an 8 inch Dobsonian, the scope is great, but I need to find somewhere dark without too much light pollution. I live in Basildon Essex.

Too many targets, so little time!

Bored of thunder now... .

Going to take some time off of the Gazers lounge. I've realised that I spend more time typing than staring. See you all in the Autumn, when hopefully I might have some actual astronomical input to offer. Best wishes, and clear skies. xx mace.

Last night was good: Double-Double, North Am Nebula, M5 and the Coathanger!
