  1. Nice images, the second one is great, it feels 3D, like you are flying over the moon.
  2. That's a super image, the position of the galaxies really help make the image great.
  3. The full resolution image is great πŸ‘
  4. Hard choice, much as I love my 4" SW Esprit and my 8" Newtonian, I've always regretted selling my ZS66 so I I'd probably keep my ZS61.
  5. I wish I'd have thought of that one Rob πŸ˜„
  6. Eight for me at the moment. WO ZG61 SW ST80 Vixen A80MF SW Evostar 90 SW Esprit 100 ED Bresser Messier MC-127 SW Evostar 150 OO Europa 200
  7. I really like that GΓΆran, the colours are just great and there are so many galaxies when you zoom in πŸ‘
  8. Truly fantastic image πŸ‘
  9. Personally I think it is a good idea. All societies have to start somewhere, the society I attend began when someone put an advert in the local paper and we are in our 50th year now. All you can do is try.
  10. 2 finder scopes, a moon filter and my mind.
  11. Thanks Mike, now I am stuck with the Ovaltinies song............................. πŸ™‰ Never tried Oxo but have taken a flask of Bovril out occasionally.
  12. When I first attended our Society it was a bit like that but I was fortunate that I went with m brother-in-law. After only a couple of months I was asked to join the committee at the AGM for some new blood and one of the first things I mentioned was that the society wasn't an inviting place to new people. I told them that I understood that they only met once a month so they all congregated into their little groups to catch up but if they wanted to build the membership up then they had to be more welcoming. I don't think they had even realised what they were doing but it has changed around and we are friendly welcoming bunch now.
  13. Anyone under 18 who wants to attend our meetings has to be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
  14. That's so poor. At our society we make a point of welcoming newcomers and positively encourage them to bring their scopes, ideally to our observing sessions but if they can't make those then to any of our other two monthly meetings. We introduced a second meeting to our monthly programme quite a few years back just for beginners so they could bring along scopes and so that they could ask any questions they may have.
