    No, just in Wiveliscombe-ish! and that has now ended too.

    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.

    That colour looks nice Kev. The roof is all coming together well too.

    James, wow my man, that really looks stunning. I had wondered how it would start to come together, wonder no more. So what roofing are you now going for? or are you sticking with rubber on wood?

    All I can say is that being part of the journey was great and thank you. A very fine optic indeed and on my wanted list.

    I got some bolts and washers today, pln to slightly raise the OOUK dob base by 4mm for better ground clearance. Those in the know, will appreciate the valuable 4mm gained.

    Simon, What I was 'seeking' was your opinion and findings as an owner. Thanks for the web link though. I have looked at that very website many times lusting after an AYO II. The Vamo just looks small in all its images to me, but then again at 7 Kg rating, that is a fair load. Sadly the long delivery on AYO has stopped me buying any to date.

    Looks most interesting, is the Vamo more sturdy than it looks?

    An interesting indicator experiment Kev. But as Wim says, what was the temp at the back of the board and was the sample too small? I would stick with the existing colour and accent the edges with something else myself, but then again it's not my observatory or garden and I don't have to look at it everyday.
  12. Alan White
    Looking great whatever the colour Kev, you are doing great. I like the greens myself.

    At first glance, I registered a Snow Ball and was impressed it survived the post. Now I have read the wording, very nice indeed and Happy Birthday in advance.

    Far, far too long Shane....... the shame of it 6 months + and no changes. The next thing you will say is you have ended your EP journey! ?
  15. Alan White
    Yet again not the postman, but I collected part 2 of my OOUK Dob-quest and brought them together, please forgive the terrible image. Mind you at the minute The RM keep delivering this days late to me.....but that's another story.
  16. Alan White
    Nice progress James, even if it doesn't feel like it to you. This roof is looking like it will be super when it comes together.
  17. Alan White
    Yesterday evening the postman/person did not deliver, I went and collected and had a nice drive to the South Coast. (not ice as first posted!). Stage 1, of my Dob quest, Orion Optics base for a 10".
  18. Alan White
    James, as long as its sound, who cares what it looks like as you have a grinder to 'finish' things. Look forward to the roof taking shape.
  19. Alan White
    I have one of these too, very comfy, just be careful if you push back against it when moving about, it can get interesting!
  20. Alan White
    Only himself I think!
  21. Alan White
    You will now have another 100+ of rubbish too, at extra cost....... or will you? You will have to wait until Sunday.
  22. Alan White
    Not on this one, its made in Japan, but I feel you are correct as some are from Taiwan and China.
  23. Alan White
    Well the much worked Post person turned up again today with my missing parcel ? only 24 hours late for a next day delivery. | The much wanted 7 mm Nagler t6 has arrived and joins the 11mm t6 and 3-6 Nagler Zoom. I have gone green on black again.
  24. Alan White
    Naughty, naughty Mr Stu, you must not put temptation in my way........ ? Thankfully its beyond my means at the minute, so tempt as much as it might, I will resist. I will resist. I will resist. I will resist. I will place it on my watched list............
  25. Alan White
    Oh my oh my, what a fine scope you have. Are the pictures from Italy, looks an interesting spot. Your thread has just fed the I want a dob monster again though.
