I've recieved my Telrad 4" Riser and the dewshield today:) I then recieved an email saying that they have dispatched the collumator:) And then I have had an email off F1 Telescopes saying that my skyliner 200p has been dispatched:hello2: Thats all I'm waiting on now is the Telrad itself which is on back order with F L O so its a good day today:headbang:

Great. A triple serving of clouds

Have a bit of faith and less negativity;)

[garethmob]

hehe:P

no one can blaim me:P my newest buy wasnt 50% astro related

[Ganymede12]

In that case we'll only give you 50% of the blame!

[texaspete1973]

Well its arrived and I'm over the moon,just waiting on the Telrad now but as predicted by everyone else,the weather is shocking!!. Gonna pack up my 130p now ready for ebay (maybe).

Pete - if you can - invest in a Wixey (about £23) and see if you can get circle printed off and laminated (I might have one you can try next time we meet up) - Goto for us Dobbers lol

[texaspete1973]

I will certainly be looking for ideas now I'm officially one of the clan:headbang:

[Mr Flibble]

Good news Pete. Looking forward to seeing it up and running at the next meet

[texaspete1973]

It will be good to see you there again David

[Mr Flibble]

Likewise Pete. Not looking good for this weekend tho. Metcheck for the following weekend is looking very good but I don't trust forecasts 2 days in advance let alone 10 days!

[stevetynant]

Well looking at Astro panel there seems to be a window of opportunity Friday night but then back to wall to wall cloud- for the time being just gotta take your chances when you can get them, fingers crossed for everyone for Satturday.
