Understood. When is the next Dobfest btw?

September :)

Aha!! Hoping my 16" Alkaid will arrive September. A bit of a delay on the OO mirror set :(

If you do decide to leave ask them how they need to be notified. I had one company insist on a written letter which they needed 3 MONTHS notice, by the time I found this out I was stuck with them for 6 months - thieves the lot of them.

There are companies that handle all these issues for you. Phone bugging is useful sometimes.

thanks for the info Lee will check that out

ill lend it emad, congrats dan, by the way

my pleasure.

Nice one Dan. Hope you like, no doubt you will :)

I like Peppa and Pocoyo(on at the moment)!

we have a smart TV so its running all day on you tube. not bad when you want some peace though

At the moment we have "magical first discoveries" (baby tv) on almost constantly. I look forward to Peppa pig.

Or chuck some boiling water over it, that will also loosen any stubborn grime!

good luck dan, easy enough

I like Maiden to, hope you leeft the cloud package behind.

Nice one Dan :)

I was more Megadeth than Maiden. 10 hours of driving you must be knackered!

i set off at half 3 got there for 8, then drove back but got stuck in traffic....bad times!

ah just remembered I promised someone first shout on that one though!

Ethos Dan ;) that's what you want for globs. Delos isn't wide enough in a big scope.

Damn you mike!

I feel your pain - no first light with that 14" yet?

ive a few good sessions with it but just not with the new televue EP's i sold my 18mm ES82 for a 17.3mm DELOS and bought a 13MMt6 Nager

I don't know guys, but somehow since I sold my scope the skies here been constantly clear at night. Or is it the grass is always greener on the other side?!! Damn, I miss my scope...Mark, once I'm settled I might buy the Delos back :D :D and Dan, I'm thinking of a 14 inch Flextube like yours...

@Lockie 

@Uranium235 i was top 2% on xbox for years 1&2 on destiny tracker logged over 3000 hours. just to much grinding for me the social side was fantastic and i enjoyed it while it lasted. bring on ANTHEM !

Xbox?...lol. Try D2 on a gaming PC  totally different experience. No aim assist, since mouse and keys are far superior  (headshots galore!). The new updates made heroic strikes more difficult than a nightfall  (which is utterly bonkers).

nebulae...LOL You've got quite a stamina, mate!! I'd melt before spending all this time out :)

im scouse I can say it how I like

Lol ;)

sounds like fun.

not tomorrow night though lool

Bluck decorating... can't think of anything worse!

Jenifer is going to kill you, lol

lol just keeping my options open, will hold off to see what SW bring out in the summer

Daniel!!!! that's what you're going to hear..

good weather you have got

you wanna try my job, now that really sucks

and what do you do nightfisher?

Does she come with a free telescope?

No dave :)

Gazza I'll throw in some 10x50s:)

No dave :)

Gazza I'll throw in some 10x50s:)

I feel your pain. I advertised for an ES82 EP several times then gave up and bought one new. Literally 3 hours later 4 ES82's came up for sale on ABS! ahhh!!

well that atik has just come up for sale so im kicking my self!

sorry starfox,they were my es 82 degree's for sale.i actually considered taking names of people looking for them as i was plannign on selling mine for a bit but was made a good offer for all 4.

Insanity !

Madness.....you will be in need of something stronger than Bud.

hair of the dog needed!!

I hope it rains for 3 weeks in Cornwall!

hahahaha If it does I'm blaming you now!

thats cruel dan

Gso

Wonderful scope, Enjoy :)

just in time for the rain at sw. cant wait to see it

i thought it would be pretty cool effect lol. i wounder what it would be like to clean though

just a thought! - i suppose it would cushion the impact and damaging an eyepiece and/or accessory if it 'hit' a solid surface.

It may be better to install a planetarium at last you will get to see the universe that way..:)

woohoo! rock n roll

Welshy need to talk to ya mate

ring me dan, later on tonight or ill ring you

Enjoy yourself, danny, it's lovely up there! 

@scarp15 famous last words. had to come down the mountain as it was awful 

Oh dear sorry to here that, complete contrast to how it is in the east then, hope to do an overnighter wild camping in the cheviots on Sunday.

Golly, it comes with a 12mm Radian too, there's 100 quid.

Golly indeed, buyer collects is me out though.

Jeez, I'd be all over that if I wasn't in Belgium.

Go for it!

You remember how good those spiral arms in M51 looked in your old 16" Dan? Well there you go! ;-)

CCD, why not take an amazing image of those spiral arms then you will never forget them ;)

well the bad news is it looks like telescope house have sold out of the LB16" so maybe a SW 14 inch Flexi have to wait till monday if i can get it

just a bit scared about trying dans new 17mm delos

You will buy one

great night and great company until the cloud rolled in, also had a fella there doing sky quality meter readings and the secret spot was 21.6. quite pleased with that

MM...sounds interesting. Do you like your job in general? That's what matters in the end..

HA no! lol but when you do 4 on 4 off i shouldn't moan

:)
