That will come in handy as most sites and mail servers only allow 12mb

I'm healing well now Soupy and no more silly accidents thank goodness!

Think we've all been out spending! I've just taken the plunge and bought an 8mm Televue Ethos eyepiece so will be eager for a session out to compare the difference between that and my BST's?

Not sure on the Auto guider as a basic imager without seeing the destructions though? I've read a few reviews on this and it sounds a pleasure to use so fingers crossed you'll get some excellent images

Nice one damian I've ordered an 8mm Delos from GW last tuesday. I am in Cornwall at the moment but coming back tomorrow so hopefully will be picking it up monday

Just had a look at the long range forecast and wed night is looking good up to now?

[crashtestdummy]

One ive seen shows patchy cloud but i never trust beypnd a same day forcast anymore

[mapstar]

Yeah, I'm in ponty at present and there's some clear sky at present!

Hope it drifts my way for later?

[crashtestdummy]

was clear through northampton on m y way back from the south coast but as soon as i hit darbyshire the cloud became thick.tbh it doesnt bother me if its cloudy when the moon sgtarts getting more full.

[Soupy]

I'm hoping for at least one clear night this week as most of the weekend will be out for me.

[mapstar]

Hi mapster. I have posted a picture of the secondary alignment in the topic I created for flocking my ota - if you could have a gander I would appreciate it.

[mapstar]

It's quite a way for just a couple of hours viewing crash.If the forecast looks better i might join you although nick said he was up for winscarr.Did you set up at the same place last time you went up?

[mapstar]

I'll have a look nick

[crashtestdummy]

Same driving time as winscarr for me

[mapstar]

We'll have to see what the clouds do!

[crashtestdummy]

Yeah im not holding much hope of a decent 3 day in advance forcast

[crashtestdummy]

Actually scratch that,almost full moon low on the southern horizon means most of my targets wont be viewable

[mapstar]

I'll be out if the weathers good as I've gone nearly 2 week's with out getting a view through the eye piece.

[crashtestdummy]

Gonna get a few all nighters next month as i will have leue time at work to take

[mapstar]
