My therapy is to keep seeing these like this...

It’s definitely shown a weakness in my monetary skills.

Especially the malts

This year has just cost more money because we can’t try before we buy.

Before I tried a nice single malt.... 🤣

The apm 20 is my budget ethos 21 (for now) it’s nice to use. Even against your 82’s it will seem wide.

Well that’s the next 10 days then

Shhh I haven’t got a 21

That’s a nice record

Son’s are the business. That reminds me of a pan 27.

👍

Yeah this is my version of Astro photography.

It’s not the hobby, it’s us 😁

Such luck with weather. Very nice, almost as good as my drawing 🤣

A terrible drawing quickly scribbled on a scrap of paper.. but hey I’ve got to see this in a cloud gap so all is well.

At least this year the birds will come past the line 2 metres apart on Boxing Day.

Do you have to take off the orange cap to put the seed in? Nicest looking pheasant feeder I’ve ever seen though 😉

Very nice setup

Another favourite in the 14mm-ish spot then.

Once you are there you can draw a straight line 😎

I sometimes look at planets with it at low magnification. They are small but it just paints such a nice picture. My favourite used to be the 14 Es/82 then the 14 Delos, they gave me 51x but were so nice to use and a great view and this is what lead me to the 13 Ethos. I think anyone looking to buy a single decent eyepiece would benefit greatly from a 12, 13 or 14mm. Spending a fortune is nice but not mandatory, there are lots of fantastic ones available on the market at reasonable prices in these focal lengths.

I also favour my 13 ethos even though in my 4” it only gives me 55x however it’s an amazing 55x.

That’s been a long time waiting. If we’d only know how things were going to pan out! Who would have thought a year ago there would be a world wide shortage of telescopes and eyepieces. Now you just have to wait for the gaps in the clouds.

.....and afford two of them 🤣

Thank you for that John. I need all the temptations I can get 🤬
