    Looks great on the mount. You can always make a dew shield out of a camping mattress.

    Impressive looking scope. Hope looking through it gives as much satisfaction as looking at it
  3. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    That could be very handy indeed. Thanks!

    Impressive looking piece of kit, and very nice write-up!

    Nice collection and case, Craig

    Solar data grabbed before work, processing on auto-pilot now

      Nice. Weather needs a personality transplant over here.

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

    Clear skies! Sun visible

    Me neither, but buying it in Japan would make it 770 euro or so (536 GBP) for TWO focal lengths. That is not such a bad deal

    My only worry is the eye relief: 16mm is right on the borderline of what is useful to me with my glasses. If it turns out they are "optimistic" in their specs (not that I would expect that from Nikon) by as much as 1mm, they would not really work for me.

    Some solar H-alpha data cooking

    Great collection. The NAV-HW have a great reputation. I almost bought a NAV-HW when I was in Japan in 2012. When later I saw the difference with European pricing I kicked myself

    Very nice compact case and EP set

      I saw a glimpse earlier Michael but it soon disappeared.

    Some seriously droolworthy cases there. I am going to get some new foam shortly to reorganize some stuff. Will show the results when I get it done.

    Caught some more sunlight this morning

      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.

    Got some solar H-alpha data cooking away

      Don't forget to share the meal :-)

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

  17. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Lovely collection Alan!

    Nice set there. The empty space must be filled, of course. The old concept of "horror vacui" in physics still holds true for EP cases
  19. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Oh, only two thirds of the orbital period of Neptune. That's nothing in astronomy
  20. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Nice case of goodies
  21. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Looks very nice. Looking forward to your report
  22. michael.h.f.wilkinson

    Guess what? Number 14 caught through a gap in the clouds

      Well done, Michael! Look forward to seeing it.

    Whoever said 13 was an unlucky number?

    1. Luke

      Luke

      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! :)

      Luke

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

  24. michael.h.f.wilkinson

      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.

    Mosaic #11 processing at the moment

    1. Luke

      Luke

      Well done, Michael. I have failed in my quest to beat your tally, but can console myself with a view of your fine mosaic when it is cooked.
