  1. Nice Mr postman (he's called Gary and he really is nice) brought a cheap dslr I purchased off fleabay, shame the t-ring didn't turn up though. Soon be time to try my hand at a bit of Astrophotography.. Should be fun. ?
  2. Thanks to bendiddley this turned up today nice and cheap. Spent the next couple of hours tidying it up and now : Good as new ?
  3. And once again here's that little opticstar sitting with its big bro...
  4. Nothing too exciting but it does allow me to piggyback my baby frac now. Been waiting 3 weeks!!
  5. Should make viewing quite comfy for me now. Long frac and being 6'3" doesn't help my back when getting towards the zenith.
  6. Many thanks to Johninderby, an extension post for my HEQ5 arrived today so no more ep's knocking into the leg. ?
  7. My new to me baby frac which shall soon be pressed into service mounted with my big frac.. Opticstar AR90S. F5. 5 Quite pleased with the build quality of it..
  8. Haha, it's not actually great spec on paper compared to many but for me it works a dream. The diagonal supplied was as good as a toy so upped that to a 2" dielectric and that made a massive difference.
  9. Hi, it's the 152.. First time I looked at jupiter my jaw dropped and it wasn't even good seeing. I prefer it to my 10" dob which now never gets used. Felt like a kid at Xmas. ? Jas
  10. Many thanks. And that is why I love using this forum. ?
  11. Couldn't of put it better squire. ? And here's my frac watching jupiter whilst the light drops. Was a stellar night for me. Best I've had.
  12. Not the postman but hand delivered by a Stella member of this forum Knighty2112. Top man bringing it to my door. Ready to piggyback on my big frac. And with the prettier rings on.. Ready for my clamp to arrive.
  13. Unfortunately patience isn't on my list of virtues!! But I'm trying ?
  14. Absolutely nothing, and I've got things overdue!! ?
  15. Just picked these up in a charity shop today for under a tenner. Apart from being dusty and a scratch on the casting they're in great condition.. Quite a happy chap now ?
  16. Just had the WiFi unit for my HEQ5 turn up closely followed by a thunderstorm. Great eh?? ?
  17. A set of anti vibration pads, hopefully to reduce the dull thuds of the kids elephant feet. Less than a tenner on ebay. Hope they work.
  18. Courtesy of djpaul I received this excellent condition EP. Looking forward to using it now. Slowly venturing into improving my collection funds allowing.
  19. Courtesy of Starflyer a cracking condition Revelation Barlow. Many thanks.
  20. Just a bit of light reading today from nice Mr amazon. Thoroughly enjoyed the moon so here's the next one.
