I was going to say that you had a bit of a Mare, but................. Wow what a night you had, and a nice read/report Geof. Now I can't wait for you to have a Moonless night, so that you can really put those binoculars through their paces.

Lovely images paul. 👍 A round of pitch and putt there would be nice one day. 😉

Lovely pic rodrigol. Well done.

Thanks Noah, they are worth knowing.

Thanks banjaxed, yes good idea, and already done that last night. But i think I'm going to buy one of these next month, TalentCell Rechargeable 36W 12V/6000mAh 5V/12000mAh DC Output Lithium Ion Battery Pack Then attach it to the mount.

Got my mount back today all fixed, my friend who repairs computer and electronic equipment done (thanks Luke) for me. And you were right Stuart, they are poor quality. I hope I don't break it again. 😟

Well done Geof, you had a brilliant session there, and that was a really nice report/read. Thanks.

Hi, tutting, I'm also living in Norfolk. I no nothing of AP, just visual for me. But you could not be in better company than here, with so many AP's with great knowledge. Good luck.

Don't laugh, knowing me I will probably need all of them. 😉

I did break the plug aswell Geoff, but I have a spare. I have ordered off amazon, so hope these are correct. There is 10 of them. 🤪 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D4DLJ69/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks banjaxed, It's the jack type socket. I just need to find the replacement and probably do a bit of soldering. So p..... with myself. 😠

Sorry similar to this

Last night setup and successfully calibrated my StarSense AutoAlign with NexStar 8se, Hooray. But while realigning later, I stood on the power cord while it was slewing and snap. The power cord ripped out of the socket and broke, so now I have no power. On inspection today I took of the cover off where the power switch and socket is, and I now need to find a socket like the one shown. Any help would be appreciated.

Nice start popeye85, I look forward to more. Planisphere 👍 Next on my shopping list.

popeye85 👍 I would like to see one if your up to doing it, if thats what you mean. Anything to help make this hobby better should always be welcomed.

Beautiful, I find all AP's pictures amazing and the dedication that you all put in to capture them. 👍

Just received this, StarSense AutoAlign with Aux splitter. That should help my poor old back out.

The Girl is up and running. Hats off to ya Gina

10 Years of Planned Satellites! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

Be nice to have dinner with Prof Brian Cox and this Mark Sargent guy.

All scopes should be in a case like that when you buy one for the money they want. I wish my Nexstar had came in a case like that. Telescope40, I hope you get a lot of pleasure from your new scope.

Wow, lovely close ups. Well done smerral.

👍 You got me Bryan.

Yeah thats the one. Flying in the afternoon and then pulling out your scope when it gets dark 🤪 whats not to like. Treat your kite like you treat your lady, get hold of her twice a day, and take her to heaven and back. 😉

As mentioned in the Anybody Playing Tonight thread. Here in North Norfolk we can have brilliant skies, but we have mist which rolls in of the sea. Even in height of summer when it's baking hot inland, when the sea mist rolls in it is very very cold.
