  1. Nice scope but not for me, wallet, back, and mount and storage, im just happy with my little skymax 127 for the odd time i get to indulge
  2. Right so we see images of the northern lights usually in a hazy green colour, but if viewed by eye would it still have the same colour or would it be more grey smudge/streak , similar to viewing a Nebulae through an eyepiece ?
  3. I see we have been moved, guess i should of posted here first, i am using win 10 laptop and went to camera, this opened the built in webcam, but i plugged in the xbox 360 and then selected change camera on right of panel, hey presto the xbox powered up
  4. all sorted win 10 will run it, this is for a possible Lunar outreach in a few weeks, the idea being to have the Moon displayed on the laptop screen rather than people trying to get to eyepiece
  5. I have an old Xbox camera (webcam) i modded years ago for A-focal imaging, but i want to use it just to live view to laptop, what software would i need to have live view on laptop using A-focal through EP
  6. Im with you on that, my largest scope is the 5" Maksutov, but the 4" mak i used to own was better in a lot of ways
  7. lets hope you get a first light soon, nice looking scope
  8. Very nicely done, and good to see your still using the 102 skymax
  9. So my good lady has developed an interest in bird watching, i had a shocking pair of travel 10x21 folding bins i let her use, just to see if the interest grew....it did, so i have bought her a new set of better bins from ebay, that will also get some use in astro. I took a chance and got a new set of 10x42, small binoculars from ebay new and less than £21 posted..............I have to say i am mega impressed with the quality of the item and more so the super quality of the image they give, better than my old Bresser 10x50`s
  10. So i got lucky and bought a used Evostar 90mm from a very nice guy on here....cheers Ant I bought it mainly for full Luna disk imaging with 1000D, when it arrived lots of cloud for weeks, but did manage a sneaky visual session other day with near half moon, very sharp image but i had forgot about "frac wobble" after using a Maksutov for so long, but very nice scope and nice dual speed crayford, i can see this getting a lot of use come the darker nights, still keeping the mak though
  11. Somethings never change, i buy a nice used refractor and still waiting to use it

      Yep, we’ve all been there mate! 

  12. Thanks Trevor, still getting back up to speed with this after a long break
  13. Very nice image, taking a good single frame does take some work and practise to get it right
  14. Just a quick single frame Skymax 127 and canon 1000D at prime focus 1/100th speed and a tiny touch on wavelets in registax
  15. Hi guys an gals, i have just returned from a camping holiday at this wonderful place Usha Gap campsite, i have had a small star party here before but i still want to push this site for astro, BTW i have no link and gain nothing from this, just highlighting a stunning place for astro, the site owner works with campaign for dark skies, and since last star party they have dealt with lights on the barn that may of caused a slight issue it is well worth a visit only drawback they still have not managed to get EHU put in https://ushagap.co.uk/
  16. some years back i had the Helios branded ST150, and it was a very nice scope, i gave it a carbon vinyl wrap and dual speed crayford focusser and a big 9x50 finder, good scope
  17. Very best wishes to Martin and his family, enjoy a long and happy retirement
