Nice one, hoping to do a bit of Jupiter tonight, maybe try an A-focal image

Ja! Isn't it wonderful? And I've already put my scope out for tonight.

Steady on!

Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year with lots of clear skies to you too !

Nice, I have just loaded mine with two Pork pies.

Bon apetit!

I think you are making a lot of wallets nervous! Look forward to seeing your first haul. Can't wait to see results from the Calcium Quark too, will be interesting to see how they compare, you have a narrower bandwidth?

First results are in. The Lunt Ca-K is rated at narrower than 2 Å. Not sure about the Ca-H Quark

25 jaar. Wow.

Van harte gefeliciteerd!

Congratulations!

Well done Michael. :)

Many congratulations, that's quite a landmark.

How did the talk go Michael ?

I would've liked to listen to that.

The 14mm for me

Excellent choice Michael !

The XW's are superb eyepieces. Steve (FLO) advised me to try them many years back but it was a while until I actually did. Hats off to RikM for going for a set way back when they were not so widely recognised. The XW5 is my favourite eyepiece for the Moon and planets - it's a pleasure to view though !

They are, indeed, lovely eyepieces. I had the 5, 7, 10 & 14, but when no longer able to travel away from my LP sold the 5, 7 & 10 as very little visual being done. They deserve to be well-used. Enjoy the new one, Michael.

Nice. Weather needs a personality transplant over here.

Not that brilliant here either, but managed to grab the brief clear spell

I saw a glimpse earlier Michael but it soon disappeared.

Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labour. Manage a bit of Quark tuning testing at last here though thin cloud may have hampered results! I think I can conclude from the image on the lappy screen that two clicks clockwise is off band by some way. Funny, every other Quark I have had - and Sarah's - seems to like 2 clicks clockwise or more.

Don't forget to share the meal :-)

Of course I will

Lucky you getting some action yesterday! My chance has come this morning, Sol ain't looking bad, the AR was stunning!

Well done, Michael! Look forward to seeing it.

cant wait to see the final product!

show off :D

The same guy that sang two out of three ain't bad? Steady seeing here but transparency was not the best. Still, clear is clear! :)

Silly me, I am 2 out of 4. Hmmm! Anyway, congrats, Michael, can you get a whole rotation?!!

That's coz its all blown over here

Congrats. My run ended on 12 as today was cloudy at both ends of the day.

Well done, David, great score! My fingers are crossed for this morning, Sol looks beautiful in white light on SDO.
