cheers pal ! it was busy to start with but people left when the first cloud bank rolled in. i stuck it out as i could see the gap coming. after the 8:30 alert the carpark was full with people still arriving. i made an exit ! it was spectacular ! popular spot here i North Wales, just glad it was a Sunday night . Tend to stay away from here as its so popular and you have the mass public wanting to shoot everything on phones so you have to deal with people without the correct astro lighting etiquette (cue flash i phone photography lol) -

I have been itching to get out to shoot Orion for a while and after a stint at work yesterday i checked https://www.metcheck.com/HOBBIES/astronomy.asp if you dont use metcheck i highly rate it. anyway i went to my local sark sky reserve here and although i never got the shot i was after, it was sure nice to be back out under a dark sky! two images the first is a single the second is a stack of 15. both shot with the 20mm SIGMA ART @F1.4 ISO 4000 sony A74 . to get these images i was stood in my waders in the llyn. now after the first hour went by with only a brief glimpse of stars i was nearly ready to call it day but i stuck it out for another hour and as met check said it would clear between 9-10 and it did just a little later more like 9:45 but i cant moan. but after nearly two hours stood in rubber waders i was starting to feel the cold. when i got back the car i thought i felt wet! when i took the waders off my entire left leg was wet. some where in transit of moving these from the old house to the new house they must of been damaged. i just thought i was going soft! it was a balmy 2 degrees but the water must of been a little warmer than that with all the recent rain. sadly my sigma is going to the repair shop after being out in some pretty epic wild weather recently it the focus ring isn't sounding great . hopefully it can be sorted.

Howdy, I've got a friend with a Celestron Astro fi, it's his son's but keeps having connectivity issues. This is a screenshot he sent me the other night. As I'm unfamiliar with this scope I know this is the best place to solve problems . If anyone has had anything similar or any suggestions please fire away. Could it be as simple as he's not using his hot spot for his WiFi? Many thanks again all. Dan
