I only just remember I was there Mark, kept some notes that'🤔s why

More then I do 😂 

Your going back in time mate, I can’t even remember if I was there

Looking good Damian hope you manage to complete it by tomorrow for the starparty 

It  was good to get out and the seeing was better the kielder this weekend lol

Excellent read Damian. The build quality is superb and the views are even better.

I had the opportunity to look at several targets last week and I was blown a way with the views M3 is awesome I just cannot believe the colours.

You should be really proud of the scope and not be worried about letting any one view at it or even more so through it

Not had much experience but here's what Iv got

Cannon 1200d DSLR

Single 180s at 55mm

Double cluster

Blood moon

Single 30s of the milkyway

And my first ever go at Orion 16 30s iso 1600 and 8 darks. Plus dust bunny

Well done Damian it's been a long time coming. The mirror looks fantastic and I'm sure the views through it will be just as impressive. Looking forward to the day you get first light and you tell us all about it [emoji106]

Looking good Damian it will soon be done and I'm sure the views will be super.

Mark

Brilliant news Damian well done you deserve it for all ur hard work

Mark

Wow what a change. It's looking really good. Looking at what other people have posted of mirrors on you thread I would definitely say that's a big improvement.

Keep up the hard work it's paying off

Mark

Good read Matt. Looks really stable don't think you will get much vibration from it.

If it wasn't for the fact I do not have much sky to play in dew to trees to the east and house to the west I'd really think about one my self. Good job well done [emoji106]

What a change!! It's looking really good Damian. The blending of the hill seems to working really well. Keep going like you are and it will be done for Galloway

Mark

Keep up the good work looking good at the moment [emoji106]

Mark

I know leaving it with John was not you wanted to do but if it gets you back to were you should be then I think it's for the best (not that I know a lot [emoji5]️)

All you have done is saved your self 6 to 8 hours polishing and there is still lots of work for you to do on it [emoji106]

Third time lucky. Good luck [emoji2]

Mark

It's a shame you are not were you wanted to be with the mirror but it is a learning process.

Which ever way you decide to go be it on ur own or with johns help everyone will support you every step of the way as we have up to now.

Mark

I'm sorry to hear things are not going how u want then to. Keep at it I'm sure u will sort it out and master the mirror.

We're all rooting for u Damian chin up [emoji106]

The top one looks like a photo of Venus. Well I think so anyway.

Mark

I think you deserve a beer. It's been a long hard slog with more to do. I think there will be a queue around the block of people when you finally do get to the stage of first light. Keep up the momentum and you will get there I'm sure

Mark

I'm sure u will crack it after ur holiday. Go have a rest from it and come back ready to go. It dose look like some improvement all the same

Mark

You have been really busy Damian. It's nice to see how it's coming along and it's looking really good. Good to see you have not lost ur motivation. Keep up the good work

Mark

Looking really good looks like u now have it under control. Well done that man

Mark

Wow what a change Damian. Hopefully ur on the right track and things won't be long in coming to fruition. Keep it up

Mark

Looks really good. Let's hope it helps with the polishing [emoji106]

Looks more like hungry hippos table Paul [emoji2]

Damian the only time constraints are your own. It will be ready when it is ready. Its your mirror and scope not something you're doing for someone else so take your time. There are lots of people here who are willing you on and know you will get there!

Could not have put it any better
