    You are close for the structure, the fit out will take some time no doubt, but you will be under cover and warmer so can crack on inside. So what wallpaper are you going for?

    An ever evolving build Kev, but always looking better each posting.

    Spoken from experience Roger? Certainly I have done such things myself, worse many years ago completed a new pipe run and then fixed into it the next morning!

    William Optics 2" Diagonal to use with the Vixen ED103s. Brand new in box but used from ENS, it was still sealed in its bag, sorry FLO I was about to pull the new trigger. In the new 2" Baader Clicklock on the focuser of the ED103s and its wonderful, nice fit. I may change the WO 2" to 1.25" for a Baader clicklock as well.

    James, looking good, looking really good. ? Looking more an observatory each posting.

    That is a fine instrument Jeremy. I can see the appeal of a small and truly portable scope, if you cannot fit that in on your travels, you would be travelling mighty light indeed.

    I was more concerned about slipping over on its mirror finish myself

    Sounds and looks great Kev, that door with cladding looks the business. Enjoy your dinner, nice daughter, one of mine just came in having said no dinner needed tonight, asked what's for dinner as I dished up, ended up having 1/2 of mine.....grrrr I like my food.

    Look forward to seeing the build come along, clearly you have fine woodworking skills Francis. I however do not, I just butcher it. So as Stu says above, watch with interest.

    Post person attended this morning with a padded envelope. I have purchased a highly recommended accessory for my Vixen ED103s. Thanks for this to Dave @F15Rules

    ED103s first sit on a tripod at home. Now this would look great on a GP2 would it not..........grrrr see above posts^^

    Unashamed old thread revival for us Vixen fans.... 80M Achromat when it had it's first light.
  15. Alan White
    I still regret the day I sold this, really do, it would have sat with my ED103s so well. You live and learn of course.

    'Dad time' is rather more special than astro time in my opinion, so time well spent Kev. I am at the opposite end of the uni journey, just started year 1.

    Progress continues, nice job so far. Feeds my want monster each time I look though.

    Post person visited today, sorry for terrible image and photo-shopping, wanted to show what I want to see with it.... 2" Orion UltraBlock filter, know it works on the Veil. Used of AB&S, paid a little bit over the odds, but I wanted it.

    Well after your paint mishap things are looking better. Note you have twins, something we have in common, we have identical girls. This observatory is looking smarter by the minute, you must be pleased with how it’s looking.

    Nice woodwork Kev, wish I was as capable. My woodwork teacher at school suggested I should be kept from things wooden.
  22. Alan White
    No, just in Wiveliscombe-ish! and that has now ended too.
  23. Alan White
    Folks have been busy recently.....so have I on the book front, all used from eBay and Amazon. Companion for my SkyAtlas 2000 Second Edition. Messier Object- O'Meara. ISS Guide, Haynes. A bit of light reading for the damper nights we are having.

    Avtar, if I had a pound for each time someone says that, I could buy number of decent eye pieces.

    Kev The weather is holding many of us up now, cannot moan though its been so good for so long. I was in the garden digging yesterday in a tee shirt and felt too warm, so cannot complain. Digging for a long hedge to screen some lights that still shine in from next door over my observing pad.
