Happy new year everyone!

I caved in and bought a pair of Celestron SkyMaster 15 x 70mm binoculars. They should land within a week.

Merry Christmas to all, hopefully some clear skies during the break!

Orion-USA has chopped the price on the Celestron Digital Camera Adapter, due to many bad reviews. So I again bought one. The problems became obvious - no grease and binding. Fixed it on quick order. Now it's a bargain. It works very well indeed for a Canon digital, and a Logitech webcam - C615. And, of course, it's snowing.....

Clear sky forecast tomorrow with very good visibility. Oooo this is exciting.

I think I just spotted Andromeda wth my naked eye, which is a first from my back garden

One of my best nights ever

Now my re-re-done ST80 got a taste of what it's good for: Watching an event calling for a good FOV, rather than a hormonal urge for brawny magnification. Such as a Total Lunar Eclipse. Beautiful!

Still here and still looking up

I'm in a nightclub.. I love nightclubs... But I cannot wait to leave so I can get home and set up the scope to get more subs!!!!

SGL is the place to be! So many nice people here. Makes astronomy even more fun!

Just got back from an unwelcome journey to deal with family and other pests. Bah! Now where was I.....?

Just love smelling the inside of my new 'scope - 200p. MMMmmmm new.....

Clear forecast all night and 3 hours of astro darkness.....the 20" is outside cooling ☺

Happy birthday to me! Keeping with tradition I wake up feeling like crud, atliest the last 5 years i was sick this time i hope its only alergies.

New Thousand Oaks Solar-Filter on my ST80. Turned the Sun Orange/Yellow. I L*O*V*E* it! No more "white-spots!"

Jupiter at opposition and clear skies. just had a great time observing the king of planets.
