Red Light Head Torch for Astronomy
callisto replied to keora's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
I've used Petzl torches for years mainly for fishing...I haven't came across one with red light only but this one here is to 'preserve' night vision (RGB) light, https://www.millets.co.uk/15997661/petzl-tactikka-rgb-head-torch-15997661 Mark -

The Hubble was only give a 15 year lifespan...30 years later and still going 😃

Glad to remind you

Yeah, I know what you mean when you have a "gud un"...the crispness is very obvious when testing the optics Do you not use a desiccant cap for the scope to try to combat the dew inside?

Unfortunately it was hit and miss so no observing 😒 But hey, look on the bright side, I actually had a conversation with my youngest daughter instead of her sitting her room all night...don't you just love talking about BTS and all the other boy bands 🤣

Well...no electricity since 9pm last night, just came on about 15mins ago (10:15am)...lots of locals complaining, but I really don't mind sitting in candle light and boiling pans of water for cuppa's 😃 You don't realise how dark your skies are until you have a powercut 😲 Mark

The way I see it "our hobby/interest" is getting air time and that's good enough for me (IMHO)

Not a pick of wind up here this morning...just in the garden trying to find some of my gardening gear what was stored in a little Keter shed, the roof from it is nowhere to be seen 😧 Hope anyone on here who was caught up in the storm is ok 👍 Mark.
