Hi Nathan.

Hi Dave, thanks mate.

Cant wait to get it out, when I was last a member I was using a 130p which was not meeting my needs. 
 

looking forward to star hopping  for DSO’s.

Nothing better then swinging the dob around and finding those faint fuzzys

Just installed Good to Stargaze. It says I am in Bortle 7.4, not too far from my estimate of Bortle 8++.

Thanks I didn't know about this app so I downloaded it aswell, it's says SQM 21.8 and Bortle 2.4

I'd be interested in seeing a photo of the whole kitchen floor. This brief glimpse of your insert pattern makes no sense to me.

I think there's some kind of pattern if you could see it all or maybe the tiler was drunk 🤪

Hey Dave, it matches your kitchen floor tiles as well. 😃

I don't think Mrs Scutt would let me keep it in the kitchen, maybe she could hang pot's and pans from it🤔

Tripod and extension pillar thanks to Franklin just need a mount , a diagonal and a RACI and a can use my refractor at last

Hi CFarVT.

Welcome to SGL 

Did anyone get to see the meteor shower last night.  I woke up at 3am to clear skies went to get the dob out of the shed but it hasn't cooled down and the secondary mirror was foged up and I didn't want to wake the wife and boys up by using the hair dryer on it.

So I found myself just standing their looking up at the sky watching one after another shooting stars just amazing the high light was seeing 3 at once fingers crossed for more clear nights.

Are you really going to bazooka that car.

Hi michelbechara. 

Sounds like you've got the same scope as me I'm using the 14mm es82 works very well . I couldn't afford the extra 300 euros to justify the extra 10% fov.

Dave

Both 😁

Hi Paul .

I wear these when I'm fishing 🎣 ment to keep warm down to -50 but I've only uesd them as low as -20 and they keep you warm but not as cheap as Mark's.

Dave

Great report John. 

I've only seen the owl nebula with the UHC filter I've now got a O-III filter and it's ment to be clear tonight can't wait to get the dob out at last🤞.

Dave 

Hi and welcome to SGL 

Great report kon.

I still don't see any colour when I look at Orion but I've only seen it twice maybe (if) I get clear skies I'll keep checking. 

Dave
