    Unforetunately you are exactly right, i have been very lucky in most of my dealings buying 2nd hand equipment.

    Lets hope for some clear skies and a few Sun spots to go with it.

    Infuriating at any time, even more so in the current climate! Would it be OK to tweet these details maybe? I guess the etalons might get split up fom the scopes, if the scumbags realise what they have. Always a good idea when buying stuff 2nd hand to ask questions abpout the performance of items to see if the seller really knows what they are selling.

    I think i have finally run out of patience, didnt expect a clear sky tonight. set up found Uranus, only for the clouds to roll in immediately. I am usually a "glass half full" gut and pretty positive, but the weather lately has been grim!

    I dont think there is too much difference in angular size to be honest, its always between 3.4 and 3.7 arcseconds. It was down to transparency and bit of luck with the seeing conditions.

    Very tricky to get any detail on Uranus, even harder on Neptune. I did manage to capture one of the polar regions a couple of years back on Uranus.

    Just Neptune left then?

    Small, but perfectly formed. Some nice detail visible as well, especially considering the current size.

    Some nice details visible on Mars, especially considering the size of the planet and the aperture used. Nice to see Uranus as well.
