  1. Well I think I’m officially a proper astronomer - I’ve just bought back a scope from the person I sold it to. Couldn’t be happier!

      Technically you’re just a dog gif, but forum rules dictate politeness.... ?

  2. Hello there - Just finished reading your "what can I expect to see" sticky - it's great! In it you mentioned you were going to write a couple more, did you ever write them I couldn't find them. Your 4" sketches are amazing and a really useful guide for what to look out for in my 127 mak! Many thanks 

  3. Le Mans 24hrs, clear skies forecast tonight, Saturn in opposition and Father's Day tomorrow. Doesn't get much better than this!

  4. Wondering why I bought a telescope in June?

      Yeah,  not the best time to do astronomy. My brother just bought a goto scope for his wife's birthday (sneaky joint present really as he wants to use it too! ;) ) a couple of weeks back. I did warn him that the nights don't really get dark enough at this time of year, but they have seen Jupiter and some other DSO's with it after I went round one night to show them how to use it.

      However, later on in the year I'm sure you'll get much more use out of it! :)

      I don't really fee like the light night's are holding me back. It's just picking the right objects to look at. M13, the double cluster and M11 all make for good viewing plus it's not freezing cold! I'm sure once it gets darker there'll be lots more to see but I'm enjoying my summer viewing :) 

  5. Hello there - could you get back to me about the incorrect eyepiece you sold me? I'd really like to get this sorted asap.

      Hello there - got your email thanks very much. Enjoy French France!

  6. Thanks for the advice on the ar90 - I've had a look I think it might be just what I'm after. Much in the way of CA? I'm confused - it's a doublet but not ed is that right?
