Uranium235

lucky git lol :D

I actually feel quite depressed right now having packed up with no Astro-joy at all tonight... Damn pea soup pants.

Same here. Forcast is clear but you can only make out the brightest stars in the sky :)

Lucky you, make good use of it...! Pants here in Wiltshire :-(

Good luck and have fun! :)

A night out under the stars should sort you out!

If it can be transmitted digitally, someone take the keyboard off him. :-))

If it's anything like what I'm still fighting after 2 weeks, it's not man flu, but the real deal, and you won't want to get out of bed for a few days, never mind go out under the stars!

That's exactly what I've been grumbling about... Am now watching Stars In Their Eyes... The only stars in Wiltshire tonight unfortunately... :-(

Times like these you start looking at itelescope sites!

got a clear few hours last night which were out of the blue, cloudy tonight however.

And here comes the cloud.... grrr...

Better that it's done this time of year they will find another place to roost...

Enjoy the Sky :)

Yeah, I think they will be ok too. Theres a lot of evergreen trees to choose from around here, as long as they dont mind a squirrel for a neighbour.

Forecast to be clear all night now, that's a result, what are you imaging tonight then?

I'll be continuing the IC405/410 mosaic with the 80ED, then move over to Orion for more Ha goodness.... yum!

Looking good for s.wales too! Don't know what to image though hmm

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

But the one you are thinking of has your name againdt it, and it needs a good home that would appreciate it, you have the same thoughts, the same ideas, the same aims in life. It was meant to be. Or take the Borg approach "Resistance is futile."

It's that or a Tak...!

Me too :)

I did this the other week, use Paragon migrate, it is easy and so far not a single issue changing my old HP laptop to SSD, what took 3 minutes to boot to desktop now take 27 seconds! PM me for any further help :D

All sorted mate, it wasnt the actual "getting it to work" part (worked first time) - but getting it in there. With the Aspire one, you have to take the whole thing apart to get to the HDD... screws everywhere! A bit like modding a DSLR. Now boots in under a minute (instead of 10) :)

Ahhh... but Ha gathered under these conditions is very good indeed ;)

Might try for some Lum later on if its still clear - got to finish the OIII first.

Absolutely, the darker the better for everything, but my theory is that it's good to have some 25-75% Moon Ha targets and proper dark skies are best for L/R/G/B/OIII/SII subs... It's L tonight.

Good luck mate, shooting anything in particular?

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

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.

wouldnt have it anyother way :)

The 130pds doesnt mind either! Its almost like newts get better in the cold.

They sure do :)

Think I'm going to have to move to your neck of the woods.

You seem to have fair few imaging opportunities.

All I got during Nov was two night (admittedly good ones), so Im just grabbing whatever comes my way :)
