The new love of my life!! 

 

Would it be fair to say you look rather pleased? ?

I wonder how good that'll look with a small LED light shining up from under the centre ?

Need a little battery and I'll let you know!! Dug out a small illuminated base for it yesterday.

What are your impressions of this? I am in a tizzle over this and the Baader one. Its almost £100 more but i do know Baader stuff is top notch.

Not had the chance to try it yet but it feels and looks a well made item. Hopefully will get some sun soon and see how it fares. 

Lovely little package was awaiting me today after work. 

Got better when I opened it up.

A nice shiny Herschel wedge. Thought I'd have a crack at solar viewing for a change. 

After a long time dragging an extension lead out into the back yard I've decided enough is enough and got some portable power. 

These seem to get good ratings so thought I'd try one out. Just need to motivate myself into action now!! 

Bit of visual to get back into the swing of things. About to pack it all away, hence the harsh lighting. ?

Little present from my wife for apparantly being a good husband! ? 

Looks lovely when the sun hits it.

Exchange it for one of these maybe?  ?

Now that's more like it!!! 

Nah, not shiny or containing glass elements. Sorry Gus, not a valid purchase!!! ? 

No posts for for four whole days!! Someone must of bought something surely!!! ?

Thought I would give these a try...

                   

...less than £19.00GBP each. Ordered last week from HK ?? [via ebay] and arrived today.

 

Bought the set of the red banded ones for my son, work surprisingly well. 

@FLO - Steve, stellar chap. ? 

Finally my 8mm EP I complete my BST set has arrived, but for some reason it's not got Starguider branding on it. Instead it's got Astroessentials on it.. Going to have to message FLO and enquire why, its not doing my ocd any good. Doesn't match properly. ? 

HEQ5 Pro, godsend lol. Wouldn't be without it. ?

The posty bought me an early birthday present (we'll be away on the day): an illuminated Moon globe. It has a remote and can change colour etc. Quite effective in a dark room

Mine is on nearly every evening, with this cloud cover its often the only moonlight I see!!  Lovely item. ?
