Amazon still saying delivery 21 June to 2 November 🤔

Super visit and report I am a late adopter of Tele Vue eyepieces, but have developed a particular liking of the Ethos series as well as the Nayglers

Excellent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very impressive Dave 👍🏻

I’ve got an old Vixen cwt that I want to spruce up as it’s seen better days. I don’t want the original Vixen green. I’m thinking black or silver. Perhaps white. Which type of paint should I use? I want something that won’t rub or flake off. I seek a nice finish.

Warning! I think someone might have hacked Mike’s account 🫣

Sorry Dizzy, it’s been a while but the night is yet young. FC 100DZ

Sorry, I’m busy at the moment

Where’s @JOCwith her battery tools when you need her?

I’ll give it 18 months until you’ve outgrown the new case, Alan 🤣

Love it, Nigella 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It maybe that your frequent open ended questions on “this vs that” become a bit tiring after a while. It might leave some to wonder if you actually want to know the answer or just engage in debate. Don’t get me wrong: there is space for debate - it’s what many of us enjoy, especially when it’s so cloudy much of the time 😊

Looks super Paul. But please don’t touch the lens 👍🏻

Wonderful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Clear from dusk until just now when light cloud arrived. A nice time with the variables. First time out for a couple of weeks due to eclipse travel and weather. Very noticeable how the sky has “moved on”

Although opposition is some way off (16 Jan 2025), Dr Richard McKim, Director of the BAA Mars Section, has started his blog: https://britastro.org/section_news_item/mars-opposition-blog-7-april-2023 He will post updates on observations, including any dust storms that might emerge.

And we haven’t even got onto the subject of BBQ baby back ribs with BBQ sauce, @Alan White 😊

Well it was good then and it’s good now, John 😊

Not too hot. Typically max 80F. BBQ was excellent. I'm a real fan of brisket.

Just back from Leakey, Texas, ca 60 miles from the Mexican border. Beautiful Texas Hill Country, with the bluebonnets and other wild flowers in full bloom. The day before was perfect and eclipse day dawned clear. Then cloud came in, but there were gaps. Caught 1st, 2nd and 3rd contact. I was observing visually with my Tak FC 76DCU and Canon IS bins. What a super event! we stayed in a cabin on a ranch. You can see it in my crude iPhone shot. It was extremely well appointed. The hosts were gracious and they even put on an impromptu Texas BBQ afterwards.

Nice handle John 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good to see the late Maurice Gavin, CCD and spectroscopy pioneer

That was a favourite haunt of mine from the 70s until they closed
