      Horrendous conditions and a good deal of work to clear up and make good after this devastation - hope house, obs? and astro gear are all safe'n sound.

      Yeah, the house is ok, thanks. Good thing I keep all the gear indoors really. Its not worth fixing anytime before Sunday otherwise it will just get smashed again.

  2. Yikes! 12dstring is offline (bandwidth exceeded)

  3. So.... Daft Punk win a grammy and become part of the "establishment"...hmpff! Its just not old skool..

      Don't get me started on Daft Punk. The so called tune they won the grammy for is quite possibly one of the worst songs ever. They need to go back to their old stuff, I have lost all respect for Daft Punk.

      Sounds promising, lovely and clear down here but poor seeing - Good luck.

  6. Just sneaking in a couple of hours before the rain arrives (again!)

  7. Worth upgrading Stellarium just for the telescope control plugin. Its brilliant for mosaics, or locating stuff not in the Synscan handset.

  8. Happy Christmas.... ho ho ho!

  9. omg... how easy is it to undo a cold-welded adapter with a pair of marigolds? Very easy :)

      Its a party piece that never fails to amaze once you have mastered it you dont even need the Marigolds.

  10. Enough of the storms already!

  11. Fingers crossed for some clear sky over the festive break!

  12. Back to the 80ED for a bit of consistency in Orion

  13. More testing to eliminate unfocused/stray light

  14. Seeing what the 130pds can do with NGC7023, always a tricky one for me.

  15. Clear all day, put my telescope out, now 100% cloud. Typical!

      It was cloudy here all day so I wasn't expecting much. I've been there before - nothing worse.

  16. Hoovering up one more chunk of Cygnus.....

      Hmmm.... well I was. The sky has just turned to mush. Might as well pack away :(

  17. Yes!! Round stars from corner to corner with a 130pds and Atik 383 :)

  18. First light for the 130pds, speed on the cheap (and parfocal too!)

  19. Warp speed Mr Sulu!

  20. Super clear.... but also super windy :(

  21. Rain..... and lots of it!

  22. Whats going on?! 4 1/2 hours and not one dodgy sub... damn, probably jinxed it now!

  23. Errr... Soap bubble is harder than I first thought!
