TELRAD TELRAD TELRAD, I love the Telrad. and my eyepiece box

Thanks I’ve got a laptop with USB 3, is the USB C faster ?

Wicked witch of the west maybe 😂

Got some new bathroom reading books 😂

Learn to love the moon 😁

Richard You are a skilled artiste sir, wonderful images. I’ve seen many great images on this site and I am always amazed what these “amateur” astronomers can achieve. I think a few years ago we would need the HST to compete. I voted for the veil 😁 Good luck Thanks

Hi Back on track 😄 a bit of a price rise in 3 months. prices at 9/1/21 and today, actually I paid £2659 at FLO now £2899 £240 price rise over 3 months ( not complaining)

100 posts, blimey I’m star forming now ! 😁 this forum has been brilliant in giving support and help, I’ve learnt so much in 4 months. thanks to all so far

Thanks I’ve downloaded this as well to have a look at.

I’ve been looking into getting a ZWO AS224MC for planetary and Lunar photography. Question is what is the best software to use? Is there a consensus on what is the best out of Fire Capture and Sharp Cap? and is Registax best for processing? Any advice gratefully accepted Thanks

Got out as well on a nice clear night, which I wasn’t expecting from the clear outside app. Too good to miss Didn’t bother with the finder scope as the Telrad has proven to be so accurate during the alignment process. just did solar system Lunar alignment which tracked perfectly. Just took these photos with my smart phone and various Baader Morpheus EPs, conditions were very good. Going to get a ZWOASI224MC for some more planetary photography. Cheers

Got out last night on a nice clear night, which I wasn’t expecting from the clear outside app. Too good to miss! 🔭😁 I’ve got my system straight now for setting up, so I can open the back door and get everything outside and set up in about 15 minutes which I’m pleased with. The new eyepiece case is a real help with keeping everything in order.

I’ve pushed x522 mag on the moon and got away with it with my Baader Morpheus 4.5mm, well just about for a few minutes 😁

Welcome I’ve got the same camera on order. Just noted there’s been about 1900 new members about 17 a day joined since I became a member on 1/12/20. You will get all the help you need here!

The postman is now known as “The Cloud Bringer” 🔭🌨

Finally got my dew controller today from FLO. I’ve been helping to keep FLO afloat this year to such an extent that when the postman comes my Mrs says “It’s clouding over again” or “I think some more clouds are being delivered” without seeing what’s come 😂

Lifting the CPC will keep me fit, so I should last another 20 years😁

Wow! proper show CAT ! Not like my old scabbers boy ! 😁

Tried to clean my CAT eyepieces today but didn’t go to well ! 😂

Thanks very much for the detailed description, glad it worked. ill print this off and use it on mine in 2040! 😁 thanks

Great to hear about all these different locations, I’m very envious! Think I need to move home 😁 will lug my scope to Brecon soon where my brother lives.

Just been looking for Barlow info, and really pleased to see what’s possible for the exact set up I’ve been considering getting. Thanks.

Just wondering, as we get near to being let out again, how far you all travel to your favourite dark site and how often? Also how much kit do you take? I think mine will be about a 30min drive. interested to hear. Thanks.
