  1. from what i understand "Commercial exports to EU from Jan 1st will need a C88 SAD, commercial invoice, a transport document (AWB, CMR, BoL) and as proof of export, a DTi-S8." is only applicable if you are a manufacture, retailers just do the CN22 CN23's https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notice-143-a-guide-for-international-post-users/notice-143-a-guide-for-international-post-users
  2. I have a backlog of toy soldiers i can finally post YAY
  3. How close to Jupiter and Saturn get visually, less that a full moon diameter?
  4. A good 32mm Plossl is an essential piece of kit
  5. Lots of times, once you have your finder aligned it's far easier just to grab point and go.
  6. Have you confirmed the cable is working. the usb ports work? is the hub powered? Although they should do not all USB ports behave equally.
  7. The 6SE will be an easier scope to get used to, its primary strengths are Luna and Planetary The Orion Starseeker IV 150 GoTo will be a steeper learning curve as you need to understand collimation to get the best out it. but is more versatile as a scope overall. A Dobsonian (with the collimation learning) might be the better route. and you will get much more aperture for your money (goto is overrated imo)
  8. Those look very much like QHY filters
  9. Unless it is the same temperature as the ambient your always going to need cooldown, make sure whatever you do it has good ventilation you dont what it to be a dramp trap.
  10. Id drop FLO a message for ZWO vs Baader comparison
  11. I tried many options and the best was a local PC to the scope controlled via lan with TeamViewer uSB can be a pain
  12. looks Awesome Peter so busy need to mosaic is much bigger to the belt !!
  13. I was thinking two cameras both fixed. Wifi Range will be about 20 feet but in theory more if it works well as id like it to be mobile. I could prototype with webcams
  14. Im tinkering with the idea of a small setup that needs to be. Solar Powered, Battery backup. WiFi Night and day camera Some sort of computer to control it. Day time might be point at my local lake rather than the sky. Any thoughts?
  15. no simple answer as both concepts work tbh,

  20. good to see this service i can imagine a few "Quads" that would of benefieted from this as they were hit and miss to say the least... in fact if i was in the market for a scope a calibrated TS quad woudl be on the list.
