Doc

:hello2: Well done all.

Cheers Noel for keeping us updated, I've asked Steve922 to seek out a nice quiet pub, we don't want any bands playing like last time.

Ollienttm I have Pm'd you.

Glider should be along soon to give you all an update.

Thanks for the info Steve and Martyn. I agree it's not very dark but it ticks alot of boxes and as we have found nothing else I think for just £25 each for the year it's worth it. It will be great to be able to meet up annd look through other peoples scopes and not feel threatened or be disturbed.

As for specifying which scopes John I think Noel will look into this.

It's a good deal. We should fingers crossed get enough people to contribute, hopefully we will get a couple more then thats FAS sorted out.

I think most of us had a good night. I certainly did. Not far from you in Nottingham.

Cheers Buddy.

Sounds like you had a great night whats the FOV of Vixen EP and do you think it would like a fast scope say F4.5

M42, 35, 36, 37 amd 13 also the double cluster in Perseus. Later M31 and Bluebell Nebula ( NGC 7662)

The amount of times thats happened to me. LOL

Glad you Saturn for the first time this year. Awesome sight those edge on rings.

What sort of paint are you using Kai is it some sort of enamel paint.

Sounds like a much better site. If it is better will you be relocating the observatory.

Finally got to use that barlow, lol

Well done matey glad you had a good night.

I personally cannot remember my last. :embarrassed:

I'm also the last to know. Never tells me nothing.

Well done on finding a window in this horrible weather. Look forward to looking at your Venus data when you post it.

It's more complicated then that. I had lots of hedges and tree roots. I relayed a message via someone else to tell the digger man to only remove certain hedges and roots and leave the ones that go under next doors drive but this message never got through and he ripped everything up. Of course the roots that run under nextdoors drive made his drive sag and that now needs fixing. The digger man says he only done what he was told so dosen't want to get involved.

Which leaves mme in the middle to pick up the pieces.

The wife's even moaninng a little now about how much of a waste of money astro gear is because I never use it.

Not had the heart to tell her I want to buy more

I've got my 16" in the corner of the conservatory as well. Makes quite a talking point and as you say Modern Art.

And I want to get involved in it. I must be MAD.

Great words and you have described exactly how I feel. I have never met any of you but will soon at the Saliabury starparty but yourself and every other member of SGL have made me feel extremely welcome.

There's times when my wife thinks I'm married to SGL instead of her but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Regards

Mick
