  1. Well clouds have cleared for now. Gonna try recording a video of Saturn with a DSLR for stacking if it comes into my restricted southern view. And maybe catch some noctilucent clouds after sunset. Not sure what DSLR settings to go for..... hmmmm....

      It arrived Sunday just after 11am, and looks awesome! Had to re-arrange my flight case, and my OCD with the foam arrangements kicked in, and cos obviously I don't have the old foam that I took out five years ago when I first got it, it's not all even and level where I had to re-pack some of the foam from places I had to pluck it from to move my LPR filter and EP in. major :( over uneven foam.....

  5. Supercat Bobby (4/9/1997 - 17/4/2015) passed away today. He reached the grand age of 17yrs 7mths. Despite cancer (leukaemia) and diabetes he was loving to the end. RIP lovely boy.

  6. Thinks FLO needs to find a supplier for DSLR light pollution filters. They could make a fortune! And my search for a 58mm LPR filter would come to a happy ending

  9. massive thoracic muscular spasm and trapped nerve..... oh the joys. No chance of getting set up for ISS tonight then :-(

      toilandtrouble123

      Cant pinpoint when it happened exactly, may have something to do with recording 4 mins of System Of A Down's opening performance at Wembley Friday night. But we were seated (other half has fractured foot). Got sent home with tramadol, naproxen and amitriptyline, and instructions to not do anything strenuous til the pain subsides. So that crosses out lugging my AZ-4 down two flights of stairs... :-( one shall entertain ones self with looking at everyone else's astrophotos and endeavou...

  10. Wish this chronic back pain would [removed word] off. Ruined my weekend of observing Venus and the Seven Sisters ffs!!!

      toilandtrouble123

      Only said b.u.g.g.e.r...... Got a Drs appointment in an hr, as been bedridden for two and a half days. The pain is too high for kidney trouble, something muscular as I keep having painful spasms. Tramadol and 1000mg of co-codamol is not touching it. And I wanna do is get out there with my baby scope, bins and cameras, and teach the other half what little I know.

      I've given up, can't do this girly-girl thing! I'm happier either geeking out on the xbox or with my scope. I just can't seem to get the hang of them - ridiculous!
