likewise, where did I leave my spade (new patio planning)…...?

Well this week for me nothing but loads for the wife via Ama8on and other internet suppliers it was the wife's birthday today and here in France we have a post-box so luckily next door neighbour took all her parcels as nobody at home and to large to fit in it.. getting in the good books hopefully?, Soes by doc marten(girly style) shoes by Fly, fancy handbag girly things and dam expensive I forgot I even bought her 2. So maybe I am good to go next month??

right time I got my coat .Sorry Gina lets get back on your topic

Duh forgot it is all the subscribers who pay for it...…………. to watch the channel

Oh and the pun (they mentioned available for further restoration people) so probably covered their costs..... that's tv for you

that's tv for you probably cost them nought (nothing) publicity

Sorry gone a little of topic I do apologise Gina Sorry ...

some 3d printing on wheeler dealers this evening for a couple of backets for a sun roof for an old capri cost a fortune they 3d scanned the old brackets (broken) cost I think 190 dollars ouch..... mike brewer thought it was ok as no longer manufactured....

expensive for what they are I made my son buy a set (said I had paid for enough in your life)? plus the connectors after an um and arh he caved in

"health and safety", If the brits over here have twin and earth unshielded earth old lay flat white /grey sheath and have a fire the insurance company won't pay out also if you have uk sockets and no eu marking again nada.My son is a qualified electrician and plus over here that is what he got his teeth into before moving onto HVAC and robotics. As per local rules yes I see a food truck in our local village doing frites(chips) burgers and can't be bothered to uncoil the extension lead that's probably pulling a heafty load fire risk there ….. and yes on chrimbo lights and festoons choc blocks/ wago's everyday.... you take the chance

I have every respect to you good on you(visons of back to the future come to mind at 88mph) I think

over here if the electricity board do some work they have to wear a hard hat plus gloves rated to 1000v a/c and glasses

crikey gina a 240v 5 amp hotbet at 1200 watts you could boil water with that never mind that could kill you...…… be careful hope you have ample protection can't quite remember what the fuse protection is now in the uk earth leakage (same stuff for your garden equipment) if it gets wet...… co2 fire extinguisher oh and a piece of wood.

what on earth are you planning on building with that amount of filament......

Never thought of that... tilt. in hind sight you buy product A then find does not suit it's purpose then buy product B it is a never ending circle why do not the manufacturers take this into account... Price i suppose. Oh well it was said if you went the AP route deep pockets... and many frustrated nights I have this all to come. I will be following your quest with great interest

Me to I have a 150pds and mpcc ditched the std adapter for one of these from https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/flo-compression-ring-adapter-for-skywatcher-newtonians-m54.html yet to try with mpcc but works fine for visual holds ep's firmly I have clicklock on my c5 rock solid stuff..

lagging again is this a host problem or bandwidth? page refresh rate a lot slower

No problem for me here in france as normal as it could be (holding my breath)

slowing down again.

or maybe this might help

astroboot.co.uk have one for sale £7-90 plus shipping. you will have to check that it comes with the rubber o ring a must

you could try one of these bases https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Multi-Function-Finderscope-Dovetail-Slot-for-Optical-Telescope-Finderscope-New/172379954816?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Here is a picture of the finder

at the moment I am playing around with it using the std finder bracket albeit I have changed the base to a baader one with twin thumbscrews

I've converted my celestron 9x50 finder model number #51611 and bought the adapter from Bern at modern astronomy https://www.modernastronomy.com/shop/accessories/adapters/sky-watcher-clones-to-c-mount-adapter-for-straight-through-finders/
