Hi, Question how does one delete one's attachments uploaded to SGL as I see I have few of my allocation 300mb of 20gb from days gone bye and would like to free up some space for everyone else surely SGL would benefit from this housekeeping? regards Andy

I changed to a compression adapter on the focuser does not pinch the CC like the standard adapter on my 150-pds https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/astro-essentials-2-inch-compression-ring-adapter-for-sky-watcher-newtonians-and-72ed-refractor-m54.html Andy

That was me (hold my hands up) No a glass of rose to calm the nerves.....

Ok works fine on both my rpi3b+ and rpi4 4gb (sometimes I scare myself to death) re installed ccdciel and skychart so repo works Cheers Radek and Stash👍

yep and forgot how I installed now? Duh such a retard Sudo apt get install ccdciel seems to work

Radek, Ran the above commands and ccdciel is now nowhere to be found on my RPI4 Do I need to re-install it? sudo apt remove libpasastro The following packages will be REMOVED: ccdciel libpasastro skychart skychart-data-dso skychart-data-pictures skychart-data-stars 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 3 not upgraded. After this operation, 877 MB disk space will be freed. regards Andy

Hello Taman from just across the pond near Carteret. Welcome to SGL and enjoy Regards Andy

Urmston is full of wine bars how the area has changed last time I came back was in 2013. A shame.So you will have light pollution from the Trafford Centre and the chill factor, golf driving range, Also maybe the new rugby club near Macro yes. Are you a member of any club? can recommend BAS Bolton astro. http://www.boltonastro.co.uk/ I used to be a member if you are looking for a local club a great bunch of guys....

Andy, Btw is the Garrick's head still going strong I used to work there back in the 90's ?

Andy Follow this guide it is the one I used. As to delete the duplicated post someone will be along to advise. Small world I left Davyhulme back in 2005 and upped sticks and moved to France http://www.astro-baby.com/astrobaby/help/collimation-guide-newtonian-reflector/ Andy

Andrew can you see all 3 clips for the primary mirror as I can see 1 with the screws at 2 o'clock and 1 partially at 6 o'clock yet cannot see the third or is you photo not straight? Btw small world I hailed from your neck of the woods Hayeswater circle. btw what are you using to collimate the scope a laser or cheshire Andy

Wim, What lens did you use? care to share the link regards Andy

I've a 150pds great piece of kit never fails and yes the 28mm is a big eyepiece gave a me a shock too... you will have fun with this scope …… one thing change the flange on the focuser for a compression type as pinches eyepieces and dump the 2" adaptor for a deeper one as well otherwise a great scope have fun https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/astro-essentials-2-inch-compression-ring-adapter-for-sky-watcher-newtonians-and-72ed-refractor-m54.html

both running same build albeit one on rpi3b+ and the other on rpi4 4gb just for comparison

waiting for the wife to come back from Paris out spending with the mother in law ……. empty wallet springs to mind

ok rpi4 opens it and astap ok albeit in black and white and upside down rpi3 same opens and a lot slower so good to go I have an rpi3 with it's own image and rpi4 with it's own image so not the same sd card

as my departed great grandma would say with a skooner sherry one more, one more, one more hiccups..... had to laugh back in the day
