Not having much luck with the planets. Conditions seem to be serving up a healthy dose of mush.....either that or the achro is just not up to the task

Don't you just love it when the forecast promises clear skies, only to change at the last minute...

Here's hoping DHL are on form tomorrow, new glass and goodies inbound. Just in time for the rain!

So far, so good Alan. Accepting the smaller diameter than the Equinox 120 and consequently dimmer image, I'm very happy with it. It has certainly made a MASSIVE difference to setting up, so much quicker and easier on the AZ4 that I can see this scope getting more use over the years.
Mostly been observing Jupiter, the detail is there that I saw in the 120, just not quite as bright an image, but really not a deal breaker.

First proper look at Venus this morning through the new Opticstar 80/600 achro. How lovely to see the crescent shape presented so sharply!

Exasperation is setting in with this hobby....decided to try imaging again due to LP killing visual observation, only to be clouded out time & time again after first sub.

Cooler temps, heavy rainfall but clear skies tonight. Might actually get some good seeing and some detail on Mars!

Stuff it, I'm staying up late. The only good weather is forecast between midnight and 0400, I'll just have to be rubbish in work tomorrow!
