Hope she doesnt come on here , otherwise you`ll be buying flowers and chocolates for ages...😙 Roger

1. Dropping your Bhatinov mask on the patio and it shattering into many pieces. 2. Imaging a whole nights subs with an Eagle3 , so i go out after moving all the subs to the USB stick when i should have copied them and i pull the USB stick out and its one of those adapter ones that holds a mini usb , hence the mini usb fell out on the patio and bounced "somewhere"in the garden, its still there so moral of the story only copy subs from Eagle 3 to USB sticks in future as moving deletes them off the Eagle3. Roger

Have you got a ETA , for it? Roger

Gulp.... Roger

Thanks, didnt realise the tripod fitted on a SW tripod if i am only solar watching i will do this , for extra satbility but if i need to deepsky asrograpghy i would probably need to use the tripod that came with it so i can set up my EQ6-r and dual rig for night. Where did you get the power adapter from as having trouble finding the exact one?appendum **** i have know found one.. Also how do you find the preassure adjustment , is right you undo it untill theres a pop or hiss and that equalises the preasure then just turn untill it stops and adjust for detail when you have aquired an image? Roger

obviously this is just out of the box , but not sure how to turn it around as it has to face the same way as the sun sensor for tracking. as it slews upwards it seems to have nice clearance at the mo. Roger

and with the solarquest mount, all i need now is a bit of sun to test it, Roger🤩

The problem is that from his description he is yet to know what has happened! Robert

Oh Yes... Roger

Just out of the box...😎 just waiting for the solar tripod, coming tuesday. Roger

You may be right , but just wanted to stay with Lunt . If you have a Rolls Royce you would only use there own spares if you could afford it? Roger

Cheers Carole, something like this , i have seen images on Astrobin with it ? Planetary Cam Roger

i am looking at getting into Solar and wondered if i could use any ccd or cmos camera say on a Lunt LS50THa? Roger

Been looking at a few possibilities mostly Lunt and wondered if anyone has any recommendations? something like Lunt LS50THa Hydrogen-alpha Solar Telescope LS50THa/B600PT with Sky-Watcher Solarquest solar go-to tracking mount and tripod Roger

yes got it yesterday , but have to wait for the sii and oiii to be ordered from makers, a couple of weeks apparently , got all 3 for £600! Roger

Great detail , well done. What are the specs of your filters? as i will have 3 NB filters soon. Roger

watch this space.. Roger

How would you polar align , given the position of the polarscope? Roger

i really enjoyed it , and meeting all the SGL members and fellow astroists', managed to buy all i wanted: atik 460ex mono from atik with a LRGB filter set half price!!, zwo filter wheel 1.25 x 8 , primalucelabs focuser , 3 NB filters from widescreen centre but gotta wait for 2 to arrive a s not in stock Ha should arrive soon.. Roger

All purchased and eventually got Baaders at Astrofest at the Widescreen Centre , Ha 3nm , Oiii 4.5nm and Sii 4.5nm with a hefty discount.😉 Roger

Hence the Lampstand "Drink no evil", LoL Roger

Nice bit of plonk to smooth those dark nights astro watching🍷 Roger
