  1. The Robins sing all night every night thanks to my neighbours security light
  2. Or just turn the street lights off for a bit when all the “normal” folk have gone to bed 😂
  3. I think Basildon council are contemplating turning off the street lights at midnight again, like they did a few years ago to save money. It made a big difference for a while, until everyone complained that they were frightened of being mugged or burgled. Thats Basildon for you....☹️
  4. Looks like an alien invasion 😂
  5. Thanks, that’s the place I was thinking about.
  6. Obviously! 😂😁 just out of interest, on the way to Benfleet, near Clements hall sport centre, I think there is a great square of conifers that have been planted on the bend in the road as a light pollution screen for an astronomy club, not sure if it is still used by a club??
  7. Welcome, this is a great place to learn👍 Also thanks for posting the Essex AC choices above👍
  8. Looks like an interesting book. Any chance of a look inside to what sort of puzzles they are? cheers
  9. Lovely clear night after sunny day in Essex. Bright Jupiter and Mars then... FOOTBALL! (and beer)🍺🍺😁
  10. Outstanding! more for when you’re in California than Wales maybe? 😂
  11. Interesting Alan, I suppose natural selection may have produced organisms that can sense everything that’s out there as an advantage? But then again I can’t sense magnetic fields like maybe a pigeon can so who knows? You didn’t mention sensing temperature but I suppose that is just touch?
  12. Fantastic, does it come with a shiny silver jump suit to wear when using it?.😂
  13. Thanks that’s what I’ve been thinking if I go down this route. 👍
  14. Hi Hollyhound, congratulations on a great bit of kit. what eye pieces do you think you will use with these?
  15. Never used any of it. Makes my kids scream with laughter when I say “I’ll email the picture to you”😁 ”Dad you are sooo old!”
  16. That’s why we all need a “Stu” (other moderators are available). 👍 never send a machine to do a man’s or woman’s work.😂
  17. Looks excellent to me, think you’re going to upset the Sun, taking pictures at night though! 😂
  18. I think they look great, particularly in a nice garden. Practically I should think they help with not having to lug heavy gear in and out of the house. To that end I think people who have got them do loads more observing. wish I had one and a bigger garden to put it in.😁 I’d get it if it’s available, nothing to lose?
  19. I got info on my telescope regarding weights from the details of the item on the FLO web. I suppose it could possibly be available on manufacturers sites as well. Or email them, Celestron have always been pretty quick with coming back with any questions I’ve had.
  20. Using my 2” refractor reverse projection training by Sir Patrick from about 50 years ago 😁
  21. Isn't that due to copper thefts?🤔 Sounds like South Essex (where I come from) 😬
  22. I remember a long time ago when my two daughters were about 3 or 4 and they experienced their first power cut at home at night. ”We like power cuts” they said as I explained what was happening and lit some candles. About two and a half minutes later they asked : Can we can watch TV? No we’ve got no electricity. Can we listen to our music? No we’ve got no electricity. Can we play with the video game? No we’ve got no electricity. Can we play with the keyboard? No we’ve got no electricity. ”We don’t like stupid power cuts any more!” 😂
