  1. Focus looks ok to me, have you tried using a bhatinov mask?
  2. An excellent first attempt. I must try this myself soon.
  3. Hello to you to from another North Norfolk member 😎.
  4. I have an ED80 with a rubbish focuser. So i spotted a Baader and reviews were great. Being an impatient guy and with a few clear nights forecast i decided to take the plunge. I rang 365Astronomy and asked the guy (not Zoltan) if they had the 2" BDS for refractors in stock and if they did express delivery, he said yes but let me check stock first, 5mins later he came back with good news, yes to both my questions,this was about 11.30am. I then said can i do it over the phone or should i use the website? he said website please. Phone down and item ordered, came to pay by paypal and page pops up saying something like "cannot complete sending you back to 365Astronomy, aargh. Tried again, same thing, third time clicked pay by card and at end still offered paypal so clicked and all went through, so did the other two payments. I immediately rang and was passed to Zoltan, he seemed to know there was an issue and said he would refund two of the payments. Great, all is good, next day, checked paypal, no refunds, checked email, no confirmation email and no dispatch email Rang again, spoke to Zoltan, sorry, sorry and sorry, money refunded within half hour, promised order by next day. Next day comes and nice man delivers box, open it up and find that it doesn't fit my ED80 Rang again and spoke to man (not Zoltan) asked first why he didn't dispatch my promised order, i was brusquely told i don't do orders only emails ?. Got put through to Zoltan who apologised. I then told him it doesn't fit my scope, he said and i quote "there are hundreds of refractors" i said "in that case why wasn't i asked what refractor i had as it may not fit", he said and i quote, "you should have told us", as you might imagine i'm now more than a little frustrated, i eventually get fed up listening to him try to shift the blame on to me and told him were to go. I now have to send the item back at a cost of £11.00 for insured special delivery, i am utterly flabbergasted by the response i got from Zoltan and his colleague. I know where i wont be shopping in the future, this is by a million miles the worst customer service i have ever had the displeasure of receiving. This is a wholly honest review of exactly what happened to me when purchasing from 365Astronomy, I know the "customer is not always right", but, the customer in this case was certainly not the one in the wrong, i feel utterly sick about the way i have been made to feel regarding this whole scenario.
  5. Cracking set, i particularly love the first one, it is stunning.
  6. And i thought Mr Spock knew everything .
  7. I don't know of a solution but the first thing i would do is to install it to a different directory and see if that works.

  10. IMO PI is worth every penny if you are serious about imaging DSO's.

    Be my guest Paul, this time last year all i could image was fuzzy blobs, it's encouraging to have others like your images.

    M1, The Crab.

    Great image, some nice colour and depth in there. Cheers.

    M1, The Crab.

    Haha, same here. It's one of my fav objects, i hope to add more data if we ever get anymore clear skies . It's a good object to image, unlike M42 it doesn't require different exposures and it's much easier to process. Good luck with it.

  15. That is quite amazing, i even had to call my partner over to take a look, great stuff, really gets the grey matter fired up, thanks.
