I'm not quite sure where such posts should go, so Mods, please move if appropriate. So after finally finishing work, I just thought I'd risk a gander at the moon out of our loft velux. Happy to compromise on the haze just for a few minutes before food. Even with the haze, lovely and clear - my wife was certainly impressed, so money well spent! We had a trip up to Jupiter which just about resolved as a disc (maybe), but I was not expecting much. Just using Celestron plossls as that's all I have for now. So not a stunning report, I hope the clouds naff off a little (or a lot) this w/e. Adrian

I'd better! 😄

Other considerations? Will your son still be interested in 12 months time? Definitely review the second hand market if you want to mitigate this.

I like the channel/dowel slide arrangement.

An update. After some procrastination over size, I pulled the trigger on HollyHound's FC-100DC. I did consider the Tecnosky 125, but I think the weight and length are too similar to the 200PDS for my comfort, if a little less bulky. Who knows what the future might bring if my back and shoulder return to 100%. As Vlaiv recommended, I also picked up a second-hand Skytee2 with an additional ADM fitting, both mount and scope relatively local. Only ring set and finder set are new. I know you know what this all looks like, but... Sorry about the weather.

Technically only the ring and finder sets were delivered (also an unseen prism), I had to pick up the rest myself over the w/e. A handle is yet to be identified.

I winced. Back of the head, not nice.

We're humans, we don't do probabilistic forecasts that well.

That's Delta Vega for you.

The Gimli Glider is an amazing story. I've not watched the video, but 60 is dividable by enough numbers to be very flexible. Try getting 1/3 of £1... Chains are a physical thing and not just an Imperial dimension. Chains can be metric or Imperial and different lengths with different link lengths exist and can be up to 30m or 100' long. The Revenue Chain is 33feet long which is half an Imperial Chain.

Can Pixinsight etc. remove Herniation?

No lines without identification please.

Has anyone tried a concentrated reflection of light back through their windows?

Added sound really bugs me, especially the electronic tones used for underwater critters. Usually the only sound they make is a crunch from eating or being eaten.

Thank the stars it was not on ITV etc. They'd be reminding you what they'd just told you before the ad break.

That's the important bit IMO. It's still a wonder to me that we can do this, let alone with cheap plastic.

Oh yes, billions and billions of times. Plus once more.

It's not his accent. I just release my inner child, easy locks . I'm not so nerdy as to have seen every episode, nor the series that came after. I was well into Babylon 5 though, just re-watched that.

Jim Al-Khalili's delivery approach is much more to my liking. Have you listened to Life Scientific? Ideal for radio. I just can't stand how Brian Cox speaks, let alone the content. I've not watched anything from him for sometime. I've been put off from Dr Becky just because of her 'react' theme. Just too many of those on YT - has it really taken her this long to see the first episode of StarTrek:TNG?

There's probably a betacism in there somewhere.

Fair enough. It will be a slightly different path now. Property development and large areas of erosion.

This is at the start of the walk in Minehead. The map cover is upside down if a normally folder map.

Keep going and you'll soon be back in Devon. Hopefully using a map smaller than the one held out at the start of the walk. The one with the upside down cover...

If you're ever in Devon, keep going. It's for your own safety.

I can only read what I read. I am very literal, I don't read between the lines well and don't generally get inferred intentions or questions. It's the way I'm wired, but it can make for some hard conversations with those who write or speak with a meaning I do not perceive. I'm sorry if you think I'm being argumentative. The written word and numbers are quite a problem for me. The numbers do concern me, there seems to be quite a lot of them in astronomy!
