  1. Hi, for size comparison, is the TS photon a 6” F5? Thanks Andy
  2. Second ADM vixen saddle for the Giro Ercole. Can now move my small ADM dual dovetail adapter to my TS AZT6, so no more markings on the dovetail bars. Thanks FLO for your great service as always.
  3. 3 clear nights in a row & waxing moon. Turn for the double guns tonight.
  4. Hi Dave, I have seen a lot of reports & pictures of a new Starlink that has been put in orbit a couple of days ago. The sighting’s are all reported at the same time you took the picture. Hope that helps. Andy.
  5. ADM dovetail arrived well packaged from @Dean Hale. Thanks again Dean.
  6. Clear skies earlier. Wife out for the evening & Son at youth club, so scope time in peace. Glad I only setup the 80mm as only got 10mins before thin cloud cover came in. Looking like a clear patch is coming though so hopefully not all lost! 🤞
  7. That looks fantastic. Well done. Can’t beat a wooden tripod, but to make your own of that quality 👏
  8. Used the same rifle clamp with a few layers of insulation tape to increase the diameter of the bar on my 20x80’s.
  9. Hi badhex, I already had a m10 threaded counterweight bar so got a m10-m12 adapter to mount it on the AZT6, but thread on the bar was a lot longer than in the adapter so caused a little movement. Placed the m12 nut over the m10 thread as a spacer to tighten. Mount works really well & now light as a feather with the new tripod. Tripod has brought the usual bad weather with it so not had chance to try it out yet, but expect it to be pretty sturdy 🤞
  10. 3 week wait, but worth it. Artcise AS90C carbon fibre tripod from Artcise in China for my lightweight/portable setup. 1st impressions are really good quality & light as a feather. 😃
  11. Even though the forecast wasn’t great, I managed the 1st hour with pretty good skies before mist & damp came in. Got a few pics on the phone to keep as memories.
  12. Finishing touch to my eyepiece collection (for now at least 😉) thanks to @Dean Hale. Posted yesterday afternoon & delivered this morning offshore, brilliant.
  13. Happy birthday to me 🥳. ES 4.7 82 from fellow SGL’er @Size9Hex arrived safe yesterday, thank you Paul. Atlas of the Moon book, looking forward to reading more about my favourite target & a Sega flux planetarium from the wife so I can still stargaze on wet, cloudy & windy days, just like today.
