Couple of 10 metre extension USB cables for the mount to the shed and a USB Printer Cable for the Atik to the shed.

Red light for the shed, just need a heater now for those cold winter nights that are just round he corner.

A couple of years ago I arranged to have an oversize wedge made for use with our 7" Mak and portable pier,  but unfortunately the company went out of business.  The other day I purchased an older large Super Wedge ( lattitude adjuster :grin: ) for this purpose, however I'll need to modify it by fabricating a larger elevated base plate to attach to the existing plate so it still functions.

Long story short, here's a photo.

Hi Gaz,

Its a heavy lump for sure, and they did have " fine adjustment " issues.  I've got an idea to use a small valve type spring and a hand wheel to provide tension on the Declination adjuster. It should make fine tuning easier by taking the backlash out of the equation.  Alignment with Polaris will not be a problem as the tristand pier has a full index adapter plate.

Just purchased a second hand HEQ5 Pro syncsan for my SW Evostar 80ED-pro. Now can anyone tell me where to buy a couple of nights of clear skies?!

Yup, call a Travel Agent and book a trip to the Atacama in Chile.

Just bought a Vixen SLV 12mm from FLO and some wonder fluid.

BTW - what does SWVG mean?

Nice buy. I was looking at those for my Vixen 81s.

SWVG = South Wales Valleys Group.

Thats called opportunistic mike and why not

Nothing special, just a couple of chairs and lounges, but it's a start. Dorothy and I need to get a kit together for a few comforts. I think she's finally got the camping bug after our recent trip to Brecon, when we met up with Daiwelly and his family; it was an enjoyable day with good weather and great conversation.   :smiley:

:smile:  Sounds good Tony, will mark it on our Calendar.  I should have our fence completed on the West side by next week, then Dorothy & I will have some time to relax for awhile; will be nice to catch up and have a chin wag.

I think I've gone a whole year without buying any astro gear at all - that must be some kind of record for our group surely

:eek: you must never meet my husband, or if you do the subject must be avoided, can't have him thinking that its possible to go a year without buying astro goodies  :evil:

You should be ashamed of yourself, the rest of us are carrying the can for you, and taking blame for the weather.   :mad:
