  1. I've had a fair few years away from it as well and it's been like being entirely new again coming back. Hardware is not that different but there's leaps and bounds difference in the software side of things. I was far from an expert on anything but now I'm waaaaay back to knowing nothing.
  2. I saw that one, it's a piece of art. I'm happy to report I've cleaned off the rust from the weights and repainted them. It's not a perfect job or anything but they're clean. The telescope itself I can't do much about, the cosmetic marks it sustained from getting kicked over by a couple of drunks who saw it in my garden at 3am are scars of its life. I had to break it down to tap out a crease and the focuser bolts were pulled out. I did think about buying a replacement but the primary mirror was undamaged so I decided to fit a new focuser and a new secondsry. At this stage I think with the flocking and the new focuser it's as good as a skywatcher 150PL can get.
  3. I'm definitely winning the least aesthetically pleasing set up what with the rust and the dents.
  4. She's been few a few wars but she fires every times she does. Btw, I'm not a psychopath, there's another Telrad plate on the other side in a more convenient position.
  5. I like to have everything out and working in the light if I can. I can take my time to set it up right and I'm fairly good at plonking the mount down enough north that polar alignment is near as dammit for observational.
  6. Add a little bit of Star Trek to your EQMOD experience. - http://www.lcarscom.net/sounds.htm

    I think I know the exact place you're on about. Is this the one that has a blue that's only found in that one place?
