      Uranium235

      Yeah, it went quite well :) Except the drizzle topping doesnt stay crunchy for long, its best served fresh.

      Makes me wonder if narrowband cake would have fewer calories. ;)

      Is that the tricky Cream Cheese Topping that is hard to get even with the 3nm Astrodon filter?

  3. Scalextric world championship!

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

  5. Senior moment.... spent a whole night on the wrong filter... doh!

      'Believe a forecast'... Will I never learn?!

      Lots of red clouds and now the forecast is pretty pants...

      Apparently Tuesday is going to be clear all night.

  7. Shhhh.... it *might* be clear tonight. Could be a case of "smash & grab" imaging before the next run of bad weather.

      I think the wind has died down a bit, but will still need to keep an eye on Sat24 in case it rains.

  8. Sky = Soup, but im still out anyway!

  9. Sneaking a couple of hours off Orion before the Moon gets out of bed.

  10. So tempted to buy a Star71 - must resist!!!

      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."

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

    1. hobsey

      hobsey

      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.

      who ? god i must be getting old !!

      That Grammy show was cringe-worthy and tacky as hell.

  12. Sob.... cameraless :( but only for a few days ;)

  13. Something very odd is happening, Ive actually got a telescope outside!

      Uranium235

      And erm... just found out CTB1 is really hard!

      And now its gone cloudy.... well, thats it for 2015!

    3. Marki

      Marki

      Frustrating isn't it? - had my scope out barely 5 mins before it clouded over last night!

  14. Starting the homebrew strawberry wine... this should be interesting. Chateau de U235...lol :)

    1. ronin

      ronin

      It does not have a long life, loses the taste pretty quick, at least if made now then it will be OK for Christmas.

    2. Uranium235

      Uranium235

      Thanks for the tip. Its only about 4 litres worth - just as a tester. So it probably wont hang around for long!

      Just had a sniff of the bucket, the smell of strawberries has been replaced by that of alcohol... heh heh, well on the way now :D

  15. Stellarium 13.0 - not worth downloading, quite slow (and thats on a gaming laptop). Gone back to 12.2 and all is fine.

    1. Coco

      Not using CDC Rob, it took me a few sessions to get used to it, mainly navigating with the mouse. Click and drag, really missed that.

    2. Uranium235

      Uranium235

      Tried CDC, but couldnt get on with the navigation, felt a bit clunky. Stellarium is fine now I have updated the comet list (having a go at c/2014 e2 next week).

      13 refused to run on mine, said a missing file so had to revert to 12. Will live with the older one, but finding I do not use it much.

  16. Strewth! Six clear nights in a row (if I include up to Fri). Not sure I can take it!...lol.
