  1. I don't for 12v sockets, but it runs my NexStar 8se with red light on and charging my iPad via usb socket. Also using 12v hairdryer for dew on telrad.
  2. I have had it a year, took about 18hrs initial charge. I use it two to four hours and then just charge overnight. I painted the white light strip red, it has two cigarette sockets.
  3. I use a Halfords 4-1 jump starter on my scope, 17ah cost Β£50.
  4. Come on Tutor John, think how much you could earn. πŸ˜‰ I have a goto and love it, but I have never used a Dob. Might do one day though.
  5. Really nice Victor, and thanks for sharing. I hope 2020 will be good for you and family as well.
  6. Hi Stu, please tell me where in the settings do I do this. I have SkySafari Plus, and have never noticed this. 😳
  7. Do not know if the clip is right or not, but was taken in the Philippines. Are you using the stock eye pieces or did you buy the 32mm? If stock the 32mm should be 20mm, for improved viewing use better quality eyepieces, BST Starguiders/Omni Plossl for about Β£50 or Revelation Astro PlΓΆssl's about Β£30. I would not use the 4mm as others have mentioned, and the stock 20mm I believe is plastic.
  8. I look forward to your results NV, good luck.
  9. πŸ‘ Really good image NV, well done.
  10. It's always a wow when you see an image like that. Well done.
  11. Telescopes are like fishing rods, one is not enough two is too many. πŸ˜‰ So mine is boring. Started with Binocular's then brought a NexStar 90 SLT, then brought my NexStar 8se.
  12. I so nice to see Blue Tits and House Sparrows on the lining line in your garden, but you should put a table on top of your post for bird feeding. πŸ˜‰ Oops sorry Bryan, I did not have my glasses on. Nice setup Bryan.
  13. Well done tooth_dr, and congratulations.
  14. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ Wow Rusted with a post like that you should be Unexiled and come back to the cloudiest/brightest UK and start kicking butt. πŸ˜‰
  15. "Oh the Astronomer and the Hausfrau should be friends"
  16. I agree with Stu and CloudMagnet, the craptastic red dot that came with my scope soon got binned for a Telrad.
  17. Yes for my NexStar 8se, I have a 32mm one which I like.
