  1. Hello, 30% only from Northern California! Got my CR6 set up.

    Hello, welcome John, curious from where do you observe? Living in Northern California, the weather has to be nicer in England?
  4. Hello, thank you for sharing your great photo.
  5. Hello, thank you, yes Call Sagan put us in the right very small place. I am in contemplative mood so I can relish incredible beautiful vistas through my scope..
  6. Hello, thank you for sharing such an incredible sight.
  7. Hello, would think aperture would win? Yes there is the secondary mirror, but. . . still would go with the 6" If it were an apochromat, then I would go with the 4",
  8. Hello, fixing my eyesight and will take any scope!
  9. Hello, is there a filter for light pollution from LEDs lighting? (I don't think for this kind of lighting?)
  10. Hello, a bed sheet, a plastic sheet, and a garden umbrella will do fine.
  11. Hello, a 5" is by far more appropriate, anything under 5" is very limiting: a Newton on a Dobson mount will give flexibility with the accessories/
  12. Hello, using a Barlow 3X, with a 2 inch barrel, it works very well but not under 20mm Using a 10" SCT tube.
  13. Hello, to my understanding the longitude of Spain is roughy the same as England. Madrid is at 3.70 W, what is confusing is the standard time is 1 hour ahead of the sun, the daylight saving time is 2 hours ahead of the sun!
  14. Hello, no the more the better, won't say what it is but certainly more than three! ;- )
  15. Hello, thank you for sharing this incredible image. It is truly impressive.

    Hi from Elisa

    Welcome Eliin, everyone here is very nice and very helpful. This forum is turning very international, but fortunately with a very distinct British accent. My self French, but went for other horizons.! Don't hesitate to ask questions, Your sky is excellent for observing. Speaking from experience having visited neighboring countries very recently.
  17. Hello, try to connect your handset to your computer, you should be able then to reset it to the factory settings. Good luck.
  18. Hello, it is fall with clouds but not much rain! Poor seing unfortunately! Although between clouds was able to observe the annular solar eclipse!
  19. Hello, no VAT and no taxes on labour. Taxes vary from state to states. But if it is under warranty there should not be any taxes.
  20. Hello, Mr Spoke, so sorry about your visual acuity, exercise would help with diabetes? Unfortunately I suffer from dry AMD, nothing can be done so far, don't smoke, not overweight I exercise vigorously but I found out that I have one of the two gene! Can"t drive, read or ride bicycle on my own, etc, Blind? no, but very motivated to keep observing the sky as I can see using "averted visional." Keep strong, make sure not to get depressed, make sure people close to you know of your health situation to keep a close eye on your moods. (no pun intended.) Loosing one's eye sight or partial is not for sissy . Depression is very silent hard to detect and share. Unfortunately, speaking from experience.
  21. Hello, it is quirky as it can get with British humor, very entertaining. Morse and Lewis shows are more cerebral, but of course excellent.
  22. Hello, beautiful picture, monument well lit give a very dramatic impression, but not a good place to observe the night sky? Is Delabole the same town that is mentioned in the series of Doc Martin? Although right now, hooked on Midsomer murders series-again! Thank you for sharing.
  23. Hello, or live in a drier place like the SouthWest U.S. AND on a hill! ;- ) There are excellent dew shields with an absorbing lining.
  24. Hello, no street lights here but plenty of garden and porche lights every which ways. If I had to deal with street lights I would use my BB gun! Unfortunately I live between 2 large cities! So the best remedy is a black sheet! My very nice neighbor has a light fetishism, he lights up from underneath some of his trees, it is very pretty but. . . ;- )
  25. Hello, you can hang a bag of rocks hanging under from the center of the spreader shelf?
