    I've misplaced my collimator, it's not in the fridge and I'm out of ideas.

      Found it! 'twas in a box.

      I have been looking for that all week.

      Was the box in the fridge..:)

      JB80

      No, I think that is what threw me off the trail.

  2. JB80

    Ahhh... Camera tripod is broken and I can't get auto blend in PS to work.

    1. JB80

      Moore gear money needed for tripod then..:( never ends does it!

      Exactly, thought I was in the clear for a while. Maybe I can get a replacement bit otherwise I'll get an upgrade for x-mas. Hopefully I can get away with my back up for use with the Polarie.

    Been a big solar afternoon and now time for a quick lunar session and on to Jupiter before a well earned lay down and drink. Possibly some food too.

      Hard work all this solar imaging ain't it.

      I think your rain has come here, Jarrod :-o I am bracing myself for a tough summer solar period, sun tan lotion, sunglasses, cold drinks, baseball caps, but you do what ya gotta do :D

      Hard life aint it. :D At one point they were saying tomorrow was going to be 31°c here but that has been revised to a brisk 26° now.

      It looks the business, not sure if it will get a first light tonight though, too many b'day drinks. Then again.... maybe after the football.

      It was my birthday last week and it's starting to feel like perpetual twilight all the way in from here..;)

    Moving shouldn't be this stressful.

    1. rowan46

      rowan46

      statistically its up there with death and divorce as most stressful times of life

    2. JB80

      JB80

      Hah, that's reassuring. I think it was a bad couple of days I was having waiting on moving companies that should have settled their dates weeks ago. As it is we leave in 10 days but have no idea what day our stuff will arrive.

  8. JB80

    Seeing is shameful, I might give up for the night and settle in.

    1. Qualia

      Qualia

      Pretty rough here as well. Strong winds have started up, so I've packed away the gear. Weekend was good but February in general has been a shameful month.

    2. JB80

      JB80

      Yeah the wind picked up after I typed this, even if it's clear like now it has been so windy. Definitely my numbers last year were almost daily for February. Not this year though.

  9. JB80

    I should really trobleshoot some solar imaging in time for tomorrows eclipse, might just enjoy the day instead.

    1. allcart

      Hope you get a look . too far north here.

    2. JB80

      Just checked, the forecast looks good, 26°c and sunny and I should have both white light and a Ha scope plus a little solar projector. Fingers crossed.

  10. JB80

    PST Adaptor arrived today. :)

    1. Viv

      Viv

      Nice one - Is the adaptor for imaging ?

    2. JB80

      JB80

      Actually it's the nose piece for the PST black box for a Stage1 mod. Just need to pull the PST apart and I can attach it.

  11. JB80

    30 odd day run of solar shots broken. Oh well.

    1. tingting44

      tingting44

      what a hell of a run tho! :D

    2. JB80

      JB80

      Yeah, I can't really complain.

  12. JB80

    I'm in Lunar stacking hell. Both Regi's didn't work and Avistack is taking hours.

    1. JB80

      JB80

      It says there is 35 hours left, that can't be right.

  13. JB80

    Ye gads, I think I just did some astronomy

    So much moisture in the air last couple of nights. :(

    1. Ccolvin968

      Ccolvin968

      Same here. :-( my ep's had dew on them left and right.

  17. JB80

    Epoxy will grind of the top of the tiles on a mirror grinding tool, right? I've made a mess :p

    Last 24 hours in Belgium. It feels weird.

    1. ronin

      ronin

      More or less weird then the first 24 hours in Belgium ?

  19. JB80

    8mm Fisheye has arrived. Wow! It's wide.

    1. Daniel-K

      Daniel-K

      nice!

  20. JB80

    The craters on the moon are doing that thing where they look like mountains. Cool effect!

  21. JB80

    6 hours in and still processing. Astraimage3.0 isn't the fastest.

  22. JB80

    Hah! My finder was off and I imaged Mercury by mistake. I was wondering why it was out of phase for Venus.

  23. JB80

    Is 110km from centre line too far to see an ISS solar transit?

  24. JB80

    Going to need an arc if this rain keeps up.

  25. JB80

    Getting fed up with this humidity, 80% every night for two months. Arrgh!
