My oldest item is this book, nor sure where I got it from though. It comes complete with rather naive childish scribbles on the star charts.

I guess I probably early teens circa 1980.

I had these too but They are all long gone

I loved this book. Wore it out nearly.

Not sure if it's still in the loft or if it's "Moon, Mars & Venus" from the same stable up there.

I had that as well, it got donated to a local astronomy society only a couple of years ago!

Very nicely captured, I think the ADC is certainty a help downn at the current altitude.

Nicely captured.

A fine image, a decent level of activity especially for the aperture.

Nice capture, there have been odd reports of cycle 25 spots for quite a while. I guess the previous cycle will keep going for a while, slowly being replaced by the new cycle. We have got a while to wait for the return of some Decent level of activity.

Very nicely detailed disc's.

I think i have still got a copy of it, somewhere on the bookshelf.  

My old Tasco 4.5" reflector, was passed on to a work colleague a few years back.  I can vividly remember purchasing through my mothers Littlewoods club book.

Nothing but thick cloud, high level light misty cloud, jetstream, rain and wind. I may get a chance next week if the sky clears, fingers crossed.

Sounds more the UK's conditions than Australia, i though it was "coast to coast blue skies" down there 🙂 

Looks beautiful, the best time of the day!

Lovely wispy Proms, the one on the left is particularly interesting to look at.

Very nice! Imaging at a decent altitude, with some decent seeing by the look of the fine detail visible in your image.

Nicely captured, especially considering the position and aperture used, always  good to se the GRS on view!

Thanks but I know that my 8" SCT can do better.

When you get some really good seeing I am sure it will do.

Some decent detail peaking through despite the very low altitude.

very nicely captured, a belated happy 4th of July to you!

Nicely captured, its hard to motivate yourself when there is so little activity at the moment.

nice looking disc, not much going on still unfortunately.

Nice little prom capture. 

very nicely captured.

Very nicely captured, lovely details visible.

Love it! Great to see an unusual object in the foreground.

A fin.e sight to pack up to!

A fine set of images.

Excellent capture, still on my wish list 😉
