    Pan 24, N13, NZ 3-6, vixen HR 3.4

    I wish my Taks showed more signs of use, but that’s more down to the weather than being frightened to take them out, unlike that other person we know 😬

    Heated threads on CN? Surely not! 🤣 I hope you get clear skies soon to test this beauty out 👍🏻

    Don’t think I’ve ever come across and AP scope in the flesh, John. They do sound good. People always talk about the multi year wait lists. Taks are readily available (in non COVID times!)

    Looks super, Fish 👍🏻
  6. JeremyS
    Indeed, Nicola. This one is worth having as the real version. I have 3 😊
  7. JeremyS
    Highly recommended 👍🏻

    In the pan? It’s the handle that always attracts me, Dave 🤔

    My favourite book. I read it at least once a year. Reminds we why I love astronomy (and variable stars in particular) BTW you can get it on Kindle

    Very nice @Nigella Bryant👍🏻
  11. JeremyS
    Just make sure it’s the right way up before sitting down 😬

    Tripod for the Pocket Borg. Aka observatory in your pocket

    If you’re into Nordic walking, you’ll need a second one of those 😊

    3mm on Moon is fine. Also on Mars. Not tried higher mags. At home I’ve found the Vixen HR 3.4 works well on planers, but for travel I prefer the flexibility that the NZ 3-6 offers in a single eyepiece

    The NZ 3-6 is part of my minimal airline travel kit with the FC 76 DCU ( and N 13 and Pan 24 + Tak prism diagonal

    Great news Fish! Looking forward to the pics 👍🏻

    Yes, pretty much the same brightness as last night, @Stu

    Very true. Difficult to remember at times 😊

    Strange day after Sunday’s beautiful weather. Snowflakes first thing now beautiful sunshine. Thought I’d tidy the office and fill the recycling bin. Then I came across this: 🤔

    I had it at mag 7.9 last night. This was an unfiltered CCD measurement which is typically a bit brighter that V band. I’ve seen several vis obs today at 8.1 to 8.5, mostly around 8.2

    Congratulations on your retirement Mike!!

    According to the Anthology of Visual Double Stars (Argyle, Swan & James) “there is currently no one alive who has seen the companion of Procyon. The last person to do so was Charles Worley 1935 - 1997”
  23. JeremyS
    Yup, I’m afraid that’s what happens Nicola 😊 Great report and really pleased you are enjoying your new Tak.
  24. JeremyS
    Actually, upon reflection I think it might have been @andrew s’s budgie smugglers that were debated in this forum, rather than @Stu’s 🤔
  25. JeremyS
    Hacksaw? Actually, John Handleby is handy with hacking off bits off scope tubes. 😊
