  1. Lovely scope but I only have the cassegrain secondary, will dig out some pics soon.
  2. In the UK try Leicester Space Centre, The Spaceguard centre Knighton, Herstmonceux is a must for its big old scopes, Jodrell Bank is an impressive structure.
  3. Are there any thoughts about planning a starparty yet?
  4. And then there is MOND so it does not have to be particulate.
  5. Is that a coiled cable? I just use a longer flat cable
  6. I have had a new car for nearly 18 months and not put the numberplate on the caravan yet.......
  7. Try using Stellarium (free download) to find out what's visible at what time of night. Its a well capable scope once you get used to using it.
  8. I use a simple tool called Whatsup it creates a list where you can set azimuth and alt limits select object type and size
  9. They have the focal length on but the field of view is dependant on the scope dimensions as well so create a crib sheet for your eyepieces and scope combination
  10. Madley was fun in 2015 thanks. Wolverhampton A.S. are holding a members observing session this June 10th.
  11. You can join again at the price of £10 we have an observatory site now and can loan kit to members. All meetings on Zoom at the moment but have observing sessions when we can.
  12. Morning have a look at this https://astro.catshill.com/top-500-binary-stars/ Steve.
  13. Ade there are several members of Wolverhampton A.S. who are in the process of making their own power supplies, message me for info.
  14. Generally the overlap is to fold down along the bino body to ensure no stray light gets in. The sun in small binos is not very big in the field of view. Whats the field of view of you 15x50's? The filters I made just slip over the lens and are held on by sticky tape or rubber bands.
  15. Nice report mate, I will have that mount back when you want.
  16. +1 for a planisphere mine has never run out of battery yet
