    What kind of EP is that? Have you had a chance to use it yet? Good?

    Back into astronomy again...and greeted by what looks to be 5 days of clouds and rain!

      You think that's bad? Try living in the UK...

      I only had two clear nights last month and only one this month - so far.

      That's rough. Sorry to hear that!

    This book looks incredible. Would love to pick it up but the opportunity cost is massive (could get a new EP!). I'll add it to my list of things to hunt for in the future...

    Welcome aboard. Hope you find some clear skies and good equipment.

    Welcome -- I'm a former Ipswich resident myself. Now in California. What brings you to the states?

      Could be a long wait for both of us. Something clearly has gone very wrong.

    Anxious to get home and setup for some Messier hunting (M3 up next)...

      Got M3 again a few days ago - lovely!  A "hood" (old black T-shirt) helped, also accustomisation (is that a word? - it should be)  to the view, and averted vision for best effect.

      While you're in the region, try M13 and M92.

      Doug.

    Thanks for this. I've been using bins for the last couple of years to try and learn my way around the sky. I originally planned to get an 8" dob (based on the very advice you speak of), but now I'm leaning towards a Nexstar simply because I don't want to maximize viewing time. I like star-hopping with bins and naked eye, but don't want to do that with a scope.

    Wish I could move out to the country...

    Work is killing me today...

    Nothing like heavy squats to make me want to spend the rest of the night looking at the stars.

    Feeling beat up

      Still think that Forbidden Planet is one of the best. Also amazed that Leslie Neilson was the commander.
