Alan

Very nice, I've got the 70-200mm F4 L series, great lens, will even auto-focus on stars.

i just see i big cloud go by :-O

Is that with the superduper photon hoovering machine that I have in my pocket? - Nope, sorry. How is it Dan?

Clear here again but got things to do :( Have a good one Dan.

shame i couldnt make it dan but friday will be good, gay mikes coming now, or his postie thinks he is

:grin: idiots

only just seen that

have a good time dan, sure you will, even without me lol

Which TVs did you get?

dont forget to include me and the gay one

Is there a cold spell coming??? ;-p

100-deg ES eyepieces...they rock big time!

Im sure they are but I cannot bring my self to paying for an extra couple of degrees of edge correction

same here dan, skys are getting quite clear but its a bit windy, apparently its going to drop later

were are you?

Let us know how you get on. :)

You'll love it, there is no way you wont :)

Have you worked out what to spend it on yet?

Im dreaming of a 383L but I reckon the wife will see most of it for the new house :(

What goal?

My saving for new gear is going well must stop looking at abs :)

as thin as meade powdercoating?

Do you mean the coatings on the glass?

If so then the answer probably has to be no. The thickness and the refractive index are what makes the coating anti-reflective, therefore same material but different thickness is no longer an anti-reflective coating. They could go for single layer not multi-layer.

Pictures!

Seconded!! Pictures!

I hope the westher is good for you.

Sorry I meant weather, I'm not German

Was the Wife out at the time???

i think she feels sorry for me cause here and the kids are going on holiday and i have to stay at home to work

Its a great life sometimes, innit? :). Got pizza and wine and 100mm f13 scope cooling down outside :)

sure is.being out just seems to relax me. just wish i stopped off for some beer on the way home

is it green? :P

lol no its brown like wood :)

Why are you planning to hog out your quattro mirror into an f/3:D

lol no me and my mate are nearly there with out 16" F4.5 mirror :) rang orion optics today about coating it as there only about 25 min drive away. now we can start making plans for the design

Getting tempted by big fast scopes eh Dan?

yeah lol !!!!

I know !! there's always one more thing.

Hope it serves you well!

Have a feeling it might be a 17mm SWA by skywatcher.... It's a hunch mind you... But an educated one..?!
