Looks familiar I had one just like that

Thanks for letting me know about this ,had a look tonight could make it out slightly but my highest magnification ep is only 6.7

Thanks very much , back to normal again just in time for the clear skies tonight

Hi all. I had dew in-between the lenses on my finder scope when I opened up to clean them they fell out and I'm not sure which way they go back , flat or curved. Thanks dave

Hi all. So it's been 5 days of continuous rain and tonight the skies where clear and dark so dark I could see m31 with my eyes, so waiting for Orion to rise, looking around found dumbbell nebula at last but everything was getting hard to focus to much dew on ep's after a few minutes (really need to buy those dew heaters). The night was ruined when fog rolled in didn't even get a chance to see Orion 😪 Fingers crossed 🤞 for next time

No. Must be a man thing the bigger the better

They look more like cannons then guns🤣

Yes 12"skywatcher. What about building a shed just the right size for it

Hi Jeff. Welcome back to SGL

I keep the dob on the trolley when observing very stable. For the ramp I use 22mm marine ply easy to move out the way each time

My dob is on a trolley and I use a ramp to get it in and out of the shed

My only scope is an 12"skywatcher dob I find nothing better than to try and find objects and get that wow factor when I find something I've never seen before. I did have a goto aswell but a like the dob much better

You could always leave it with me I look after it for you no problem 🤣

Hi Lundy view. Welcome back to SGL

You can upload photos on here for us to see

Would explore scientific OIII filter be of good quality it's not cheap but not as expensive as some other brands

I have no light pollution (only when my sons keep going in the kitchen raiding the fridge) so maybe just an OIII filter

I have an explore scientific UHC filter is it worth buying an 0III filter and a neodymium filter aswell would I see much difference or should I save my money

Make sure you buy a good scope and mount feels like my big toe is broken

You don't own the holiday house down the road who supports Aston villa

Not much to show trying to take some images of Jupiter though my phone,took the phone off then it broke.

Dam wish I thought of that would look so much better
