    Well I think I’m officially a proper astronomer - I’ve just bought back a scope from the person I sold it to. Couldn’t be happier!

    I just want the rain to stop, clouds to disappear and be able to see some stars... is that too much to ask!

      Yes, it is. We haven't had a proper clear night this year. :D

    New setup is working really well (except the finder) I am planning to get the Christmas Tree thing from FLO that allows multiple finders at the same time so I can use red dot and finderscope together.

    Autoguiding still on track for debut in July! :D 

    1. JohnSadlerAstro

      Thanks for letting me know. :)

    New telescope, new mount, and auto-guiding to come soon....

    Due to a most amazing turn of events, my "Operation 2017", which was originally going to be a mount upgrade to EQ3-2, suddenly turned into a full-on equipment rampage! Following January's new EQ5 and motors, I have now replaced my 3-year-old Explorer 130 starter scope with a 130 P-DS (130mm newts are where it's at :D!) although I am planning to work on some restoration of this scope so I can use it for planetary and lunar observing on the EQ2 while I image with the other setup.

    But that's not all--for my birthday in July, my (very) tolerant parents (who are about the only people I know who understand why I should spend thousands on rather frustrating optics) have agreed to get me a guider-finder and basic guidecam! As my EQ5 has the advanced motor pack with ST-4 connector, etc., all I need to do is set it all up and I'll be (mostly) good to go! :)

    Meanwhile, a LP filter, Cheshire, and other gadgets are required from my pocket money.....I think I will very soon be one of FLO's most "valued" customers....:D:D

    Someone needs to invent a device that is able to suck up the clouds... Preferably hand held but would settle for mounted on the roof :D 

    1. JohnSadlerAstro

      JohnSadlerAstro

      I think its just a trick. :p 

      I am in great respect of FLO, but I think that perhaps this is a bit.........fanciful?
