  1. I still have a full head of thick luscious auburn hair. I don't need a hat.
  2. I now consider myself as an astro gear collector. Due to health and weather issues, I can't remember my last observing session. It must be 3 yrs.
  3. Astronomy is a no no for me for the last couple of yrs due to Carpal Tunnel Syndronme. I have very little feeling or strength in my hands. I don't want to drop expensive astro gear. The weather doesn't help.
  4. I've been watching a live feed from San Antonio Tx. The ring of fire was amazing.
  5. First time I saw Saturn, I felt like someone stuck a picture to my telescope lens.
  6. I never play mind games with our Dog. She will always win.
  7. Is that what that was about. It was all over RTE news.
  8. FLO, the best astro retailer I've found, SGL, the best online astro community I've found. Perfect match. Olly will probably kill me for using so many comma.
  9. Honestly, with the way global weather patterns are going...I personally think visual astronomy and Astro Photography are in the same boat. I honestly haven't seen a star in about 3 months.
  10. Apparently here in Ireland we have had a months rain in the last 48 hrs. Yes, it's rains a lot here, but a months worth is ridiculous.
  11. Wouldn't longitude/latitude be an issue with stacking. I saw 2 side by side images of the Moon, taken from a distance of 900 miles apart. While the rotation was slight, it was still noticeable. It might be different for DSOs.
  12. The focuser on the SWH 130P is its only fault. I found a couple of layers of electrical tape a great fix. It will probably need replacing often, so I may try the sticky velcro loop.
  13. You can't go far wrong with Skywatcher Heritage 130P. It's still probably my favourite scope.
  14. A heads up to fans of Astrobiscuit. Rory is posting a new video on his YouTube channel in the next day or so. Head over to get notified when it goes out. Should be a good one.
  15. Not astro related, but a letter from my Prize Bonds saying I won another €50. That's € 200 that I have won in a month.
  16. I thought it was a Turnip too. Mine and Lorna's least desirable veg. We both detest it.
  17. I'd rather spend time with Molly, but she tucks herself into bed at 10pm religiously. She's will be 7 yrs old on 10th June.
  18. Welcome back Barkis. Life and health does have a way of getting in the way.
