      Nope, strangely enough was gonna do one this weekend, now I had some stuff on it worth saving (i.e my first pics with my dslr, WoW, saved documents). Only had this laptop a couple of weeks too..

      You did post some pics on SGL though so at least you still have your first shots.

    cloud again, and definatly getting chillier...

  6. toilandtrouble123

      Same! I've got a new scope that I haven't had a chance to properly use yet!!! The joys of living in the UK :-/

      Not sure there's any point in saying it but "Clear Skies" :-D lol

  7. toilandtrouble123

    HTC says partly sunny, MetOffice says clear night with patchy mist in rural areas....My house (near town centre) view: thick fog like out of a horror movie! Getting fed up with this weather

      Yeah but look on the bright side. After six weeks of constant cloud there always comes six weeks of continuous cloud.

      good old HTC says sunny? At night!

      Its thick low cloud here but i have seen two stars!!

      @foundaplanet - your wit is as ever so amusing....

      @cheb - the way my htc thinks, is well unique

  8. toilandtrouble123

    Will be heading out tonight with the DSLR for my second attempt at constellation shots and star trails, staying in town though, so light pollution will be a [removed word]

  9. toilandtrouble123

  10. toilandtrouble123

      I'm sure it will be available somewhere on the internet soon, I would check YouTube. :) I think I may have recorded the programme to watch later... If I could, I would help you out.

    talking to the kitten in mews and miaows about how buying a new scope is essential to the house's existence :D

    1. rowan46

      rowan46

      I wouldn't bother. Kittens are not interested in anything astronomical except string theory.

  12. toilandtrouble123

    what horrible weather for my day off, might as well stay in bed, and carry on browsing for my second scope

  13. toilandtrouble123

  14. toilandtrouble123

    getting to grips with processing RAW files.....eurgh

  15. toilandtrouble123

    had 15mins of setting up, ate sausage and chips in the car whilst waiting for scope to cool, got out the car 20 mins later, and the sky had disappeared under thick mist and low cloud

    1. crashtestdummy

      crashtestdummy

  16. toilandtrouble123

    2. toilandtrouble123

      toilandtrouble123

      canon 350d, no instructions, drivers, interface cable or power cable. all easily rectified, i know, but its the INCONVENIENCE of it lol! and i've just rinsed all my ink printing out the users manual before realising there was 172 a4 pages to print out-DOH!! i guess im in dingbat-mode today haha

      toilandtrouble123

      we had a snow flurry on the hills, which was surprising as the elevation is only something like 660 feet, and it wasn't really that cold. oh well, still screwed my night up.

  21. toilandtrouble123

    Hopefully heading out with my scope tonight for the first time in a couple of years

    1. foundaplanet

      foundaplanet

      A couple of years! Wow and I thought my weather had been bad...

    2. toilandtrouble123

      toilandtrouble123

      lol!! my set up has been in storage, cos of moving about and whatnot. So, for the past few weeks, I've been trying to get up to the hills with the scope, but poor weather has prevented me.....until now :D

    3. foundaplanet

      foundaplanet
