  8. Current project: IC5146 (extended)

  10. Dunno what happened last night, was running fine for 90min - then all of a sudden it was blob city! (maybe dew on secondary?)

      was this on the 130? do you use a dew shield?

    2. Uranium235

      Uranium235

      Yeah, had the shield on. If it happens again tonight I will deploy the hairdryer. While im at it, I may as well recharge the 383L desiccant.

  11. Enough of the cloud already! Been out just once in the last month.

      Einstein Moths. They occasionally eat small holes through the fabric of space-time and radiation from the CRB gets through. Space-Time is self reapairing so the holes disapper fairly fast.

      Seriously, I wish this flamin' jet steam would sling its blummin hook, its just a non-stop conveyer belt of cloud!

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

  15. Excellent transparency tonight! :)

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

      goose35

      I've packed up after one 10 min tester sub and a 5 minuit tester on a new target. Due to cloud

    2. Uranium235

      Uranium235

      Almost exactly the same here, just 3x5min.... then cloud.

    3. goose35

      goose35

      I did a bit of processing on the 10 min sub a small area of the crescent nebula appeared so was pleasedish for my first nebula

  20. Flippin marvelous!!! Greenhouse completely destroyed and fence posts (complete with concrete) ripped right out of the ground! Resisting the urge to have a mental!

      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.

    2. Uranium235

      Uranium235

      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.

  21. Forecast says clear for tonight.... will believe that when I see it!

      Same down here, but solid cloud and quite gusty wind at the moment - I'll review after a cup of tea ;) Good luck up country!

      It was 11pm before it started clearing, and still too much light. Might go into summer shutdown for a few weeks.

    4. hobsey

      hobsey

      Good idea as the light evenings and cloud want annoy you then. I went into summer shutdown a few weeks ago and wont be getting the scopes out again until I visit a friend on the edge of the Brecon Beacons at the end of August.

  22. Gahhh! Man-flu again! Hoping ive got the legs for tonight. Dont forget to show your kids the ISS (Santa) pass early this eve!

    1. AstroGZ

      AstroGZ

      Same. Had the dreaded lurgy for the last week but desperately want to go out tonight!

  23. Gawd... forecast for another 4 clear nights, why couldnt it do this last week?!

  24. GCSE week.... I might be a bit busy. Tissues, damp sponges and sick buckets on standby!
