    What frequency or frequencies do they use? I am purely SWL/DX and contemplating SDR. Current 'rigs' are... Yaesu FRG-7 + FRT-7700 (atu), Icom IC-R5, (no SSB), Realistic DX-440 Antenna's are... a 'random wire' in the loft and a Slinky in the bed-sit room at ceiling level. 73's & clear skies.

    Very nice indeed!

    When are FLO going to start stocking them? ...or you taking orders? ?
  5. RT65CB-SWL
    I was thinking the same thing. Must be the same design/developer studio/team. ?

    A TeleVue 13mm Nagler/Type 6 via FLO... From left to right... 13mm 'smooth-side' Plossl* ---> 13mm Nagler/Type 1 ---> 13mm Nagler/Type 6. * added for comparison.

    Polystyrene chips, air... plus whatever it was you have been waiting for during the past +/- 1ly.

    I love this 'scope more now... than when it had the 'original' Meade backplate... my 're-modded' ETX105. ? ?

    FLO... Please stop teasing me with your 'latest offers' from TeleVue & Lunt. ?

    I brought a TeleVue 13mm 'smoothie' Nagler from @25585 several months ago; then a TeleVue 13mm 'smoothie' Plossl from @mikeDnight a few months later. Makes for an interesting comparison companion. top... 13mm Nagler. bottom... 13mm Plossl.

    Hi Richard @25585... the 13mm 'smoothie' Nagler I brought from you is awesome... Tnx. I managed to get a vinyl end cap for the eye end too.

    It's a 'scope with port & starboard navigation lights.

    This little 'bad boy'... a 1.25" 7-21mm zoom e/p, (including bolt-bottle). Feels nice & smooth when changing focal lengths and looks perfect for grab'n'go sessions too. edit: received a 40mm rubber end cap for it yesterday [13.06.2018], via http://www.nipon-scope.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=47&zenid=8ec0496fc7a004d85a0105a4367add44 as it did not include one.

    We should have a new SGL competition - 'Spot the Dust Bunny'

    The TeleVue TV85 maybe an old design, but still is a sexy looking refractor... though I prefer it in the green finish.

    Nice legs!

    Oh dear Ben! that's a bit of a after all the effort, work & time you have spent on it last month. First thing I would do is give Steve at SCTelescopes a phone call (+44 7934 063893) or send him an email before attempting a DIY repair. If you can manage to push baffle back on, then you maybe able to let a thin cyanacrolite adhesive do what is called 'capillary action', (i.e. a drip of the adhesive follows the join). I do this to join to halves of a model aircraft wing together if they become damaged. Loctite used to do an adhesive specifically for repairing glass, though I don't know whether SuperGlue will do.

    As of 6:52 this morning, I am now a great-uncle :binkybaby: ...makes me feel even older! :evil62:

    The word telescope comes from the Greek tçleskopos, which means far-seeing... tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'.

    This unguided photo, (single frame), was taken with my Olympus C2040 attached to my ETX105, (before the 'mod' & re-mod'), using afocal projection - eyepiece was a 20mm Plossl inserted into my eyepiece projection unit. <--- this is the 'original' (...from a few years ago). <--- this is 'enhanced' (...at time of submitting entry). note: Please feel free to move to 'Imaging - Lunar' section if it does not meet the entry rules/requirements and omit this line - tnx in adv.

    new LED streetlights along the main road being installed from today... to replace the sodium streetlights.

      This was done along the road by my house as well. They certainly do illuminate the road better. Unfortunately, they also create more glare from my viewing area in the barnyard behind my house. There are two of them I can't occlude by  setting up in a spot that has a tree or other obstruction between me and them.

      LEDs worked for me. Lost two very annoying high pressure sodiums, got nicely shielded LEDs instead. Hope it works for you!

      My backgarden is a lot darker since the lights were changed in the streets surrounding.

      I've heard that you can't filter that type of light, but I don't notice it.

      Love to say my imaging has improved but I need the weather to improve first !
