Supposed to be clear tonight...maybe better luck this time?

Tha' needs to move t' Middle Earth, protected by Mordor Peak District!

Nick.

cloudy here is the west farthing of yorkshire but will hopefully clear

Great. Good to be out again isn't it.

Enjoy

Good to here, Nightfisher and look forward to a report :-)

I'd just be nice to have some decent weather so we can just enjoy what we have

too right matey, it has to break soon though

You reckon? Gotta be the worse winter ever for astronomy 

Whats up mate? doesn't sound good!

a long story, gues im letting things get me down

Things are never as bad as they seem. Hope that things improve - my email address is in my sig if you want to chat.

And the same to you Jules

Here's to a clearer new year!

Happy Christmas Jules!

Back at you and Sarah

Result..:)

I reckon with your new scientific kit, those faint DSOs will grow on you as have the doubles, planets and moon.

what he said! enjoy!

looking forward to your pics i love the moon :)

Will we see the set up in August Jules, would be interesting to see?!

Yes fozzie its my 150 pro mak set up, i can image at native f12 or f17 with this

Congratulations!

Well done - keep it up! No turning back now.....

nice one jules :)

Hope it goes a little smoother than mine whilst getting my new frac up and running!  

Should be fine, the ED80 is a proven strong performer

Sounds very handy

i just got a secondhand ibm r52, seems pretty good though

Bagged a bonus Mars and Saturn plus a good split on SAlkor/Mizor with TS80

I had a great night Friday also Jules, the skies were very clear and I managed to stay awake until 3:30am, this did of course result in me staying in bed until 3:30pm Saturday :-) I could do with a few more sessions like this one

Fingers crossed Jules!

cheers, not been able to open back door to garden as some wood was piled up ready for a job on the house

Sounds lovely, Jules. I've been wondering for a couple of days now, but what are you mounting on the EQ5?

Tal100RS and new Maksutov when i get it, also migt be getting an ED80 later in the year

I don't want to rub it in Jules but the second bout is very hard to shake off

Been fluy this last week or so as well, Jules. Hopefully as spring pushes on, it'll be shaken off. Hope you get well soon.

Congrats! Never had a Mak, but hear so many good things about frac-esque views.

Maks are superb scopes, i have had them from the 102 right up to the 180, the 150 is the jewel in the crown

What you're getting, Jules :-)

Quality 2" diagonal, Revelation 15mm plossl, x1.6 Barlow

see you there. Be sure to come by and say hello.

I will be with the Sunderland Astro enclave and have my C11 on the NEQ6 pro with geoptic counterweights and new NEQ6 wedge-just so you know where to look.

will do

Hope you get better soon.

Get well soon, Jules!

Sounds great. Glad you got a session in. It's been raining all day and night here. Do you have plans for the 60mm? Will it be a grab n go, something to store in other places to use, a nice widefield?

it is grab an go, plan to do a little luna imaging with it, nice to use a quality 49 year old scope

Mighty handy and you can always tie it onto your Tal as well.

just using it on the 150p ds

I'm with ya mate, still waiting to get a good sesh with these's maxi's

Been awful here as well. I have never seen anything like it. Ending of May and it is freezing cold, stormy, rainy, and yes...loads of cloud. There hasn't been a clear night since the 11th.

I have just posted a photo of the site..

cool, of to look

Good luck! bit of intermittent cloud here - got scope out cooling anyway :)

Good luck to you my friend, i had a short but enjoyable session

Should be fine, but, then, I don't really know about these things.

Any reason why you think it's going to blow up?

Cool! Bet the Antares will look a treat on that!

cheers, should work well on it, but mainly for the mak
