I have just posted a photo of the site..

cool, of to look

Hope you get better soon.

Get well soon, Jules!

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.

Sorry about that, the clouds from my new (to me) scope must've drifted down to Huddersfield...

Ay, I think there's some law about that kind of thing, Jules. I don't want to be a downer but it looks like the UK will be hit by quite a lot of cloud over the next few days and into next week :-(

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

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

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

just using it on the 150p ds

Ay, I agree, Foundaplanet and sorry to hear your frustration, Nightfisher. It's a tricky hobby to maintain every night, but astronomy can be filled with astro-related studies that augment the pleasure when there is the opportunity to head out.

I will be staying with it, just find it so frustrating that work always seems to get in the way of a clear night, a job change has been on the cards for some time

I agree nightfisher..Shifts are the bane of my life, more often than not clear skies when working

That would be a great move ,most of the last five years as been moon based and I never get bored of looking at imaging or talking about it

we dont get dark crisp nights up here, just rain or fog or mist, even all three

It's been a lean spell for me, though I am clinging on to the thought that what we see is truly amazing, when we do finally get to see it! Hope you find a good solution one way or the other.

Just think Winter and Jupiter.

Good luck with that one! I'd help if I could, but I'm not so good with computer stuff.

as always

I do like the term silly little clouds even though that's what I spent 4 hours on last night.. I guess. The good thing with Luna is there are always evolving views bring different views to the same object especially when the terminator is involved, loads of things to see again and again.. I always enjoy my Luna obs.

Solar system is more dynamic, things like shadow transits, partial illuminated craters, sun spots in white light, the Cassini division and so on

Sorry to hear it, nightfisher :(

My thoughts are with you tonight, Nightfisher.

Can't add more than Mike and Rob have said. Look after yourself, Jules.

But is it going to be clear...? I've already told work I'm going to be tired at not to be disturbing me with anything but asking me if I want a cuppa!

Nice, there great scopes and heard a lot of good reports, hope it arrives soon mate! :)

Hope you don't get the usual delivery of thick cloud with your new scope! :o)

Me 2 tomorrow!!

New scope time is the best.... :) Now if only one of you would buy a cloud blowing away device!!

I think my boxes will come with free clouds as standard......

I think I should do a little flocking to mine. Maybe something to do this winter.

Hope you have a good night Jules, be good to hear you report on the zenithstar - been a long time coming;)

Its looking promising

Congratulations!

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

nice one jules :)

i knew it would be jinxed, i now have to work tomorrow.....see mr nightfisher slope of and bang head repeatedly against wall

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 very handy

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

my claire is more of a keeper than the TAL, for certain, she is a top gal

I like happy endings.

has she got a sister jules lol

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
