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.
-
Bonus. ?

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.

C'est la vie squire..

Ditto ?

Unfortunately patience isn't on my list of virtues!! But I'm trying ?
-
Absolutely nothing, and I've got things overdue!! ?

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 ?

Just had the WiFi unit for my HEQ5 turn up closely followed by a thunderstorm. Great eh?? ?
-
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.

Courtesy of djpaul I received this excellent condition EP. Looking forward to using it now. Slowly venturing into improving my collection funds allowing.

Just a bit of light reading today from nice Mr amazon. Thoroughly enjoyed the moon so here's the next one.
-
Ooh they're pretty! ?
-
Nothing so fancy for me today, but nonetheless an important improvement for my frac. Really feel the focuser on the bresser was a bit hard to get perfect focus with my ham fists. ?

Where did you order from? Geek/wish from China, cheapest and not too bad on delivery time.
-
Ah, but the moon I do lose myself in. (starts humming Ozzy - Bark At The Moon) Let's not get too technical, head not working so well today!! ?
-
Saw someone posted a pic of one of these a while back so thought I'd have one of my own. Don't need dark nights to stare at the moon now! Bless cheap Chinese manufacturing. ?
-
IJust arrived is an upgrade to the diagonal that came with my Bresser frac. I like getting shiny things in the post ?
-
Takes the weight nicely, would need another counter balance with big ep's or astrophotography gear tho.

New to all this astronomy business and not got to much spare cash at moment but after starting the other month with a dob I have now bought my first frac. Bresser AR152L/1200 on a HEQ5 Pro. Thought it might be a good little starting package for me. Certainly made Jupiter look better than the dob did last night. Money well spent me thinks. ? Certainly some nice looking set ups on here, not jealous at all honestly!

Cheers Steve. Hoping it stays clear for later on. Need to road test it all. Hope you've not put a hex on me now!!! Jas

Nice Mr postman brought me my new shiny Bresser AR152/1200. Who's a happy chappy then? ? Looks just right on the HEQ5, can actually use it now.

Hi there. Been following since I joined and I am enjoying following your progress. A family member of mine has a small obsy and under the sliding roof he used garage door brush strips /Draught excluders to keep a good seal stopping wind and insects when closed. Not sure if you've considered them already.. Keep up the good work. Jas

Had a pleasant evening sat having a nice view of M51 with my son.. Only took this picture as I was about to pack away. Wouldn't dare use the flash otherwise.
