ok, own up, who's the one who had new gear delivered today?

[Spec-Chum]

Pure clouds here, can't see a thing so someone has!

[paul schofield]

I received a Meade 5000 eyepiece today, don't know if that counts.

[Spec-Chum]

If you were looking forward to using it, then yes, it counts.

Anything purchased Astronomical, will bring Astronomical cloud cover, most times anyway

Could be me. I finally set up outside after cleaning mirrors and collimating (I hope!). Was hoping to do a star test but haven't seen a star since and it's been persisting with rain

Sorry

Jason

[Monty]

My new camera arrived...

[Ganymede12]

Last week I bought Phillips: Stargazing with a Telescope from the National Space Centre's souvenir shop.

But now I'm saving up for a Skyliner 200P so I won't be buying anything for a long time whilst I save up the money.

[JohnC]

I bought this.

[Naemeth]

It's strange, all of you (and me) should be enjoying crystal clear nights - my one and only finder is broken .

i was hoping to do a star test last night aswell after spending over an hour getting my collimation "spot on" (i hope, too). i guess we all contributed a bit of cloud. thats why its so thick.

[jason.p]

My poor wet scope (I did give it a good "slushing")

[bullettooth]

aghhh. it must be my fault! the postman has just been and gave me my 17mm sterling plossl AND my pocket sky atlas. i very much hope its clear tonight. hehehehe

[Redbird48oo]

Just purchased 7 x-cel LX eye pieces.......sorry.....LOL not.

[GlassWalker]

I got an EQ6 last week, although strictly I haven't finished setting up all the control stuff for it yet so it isn't ready... BUT I have also been making mods on a second PST I got recently... when I got the 1st PST earlier this year, that alone was probably enough for the flooding.

[Grotemobile]

Hi, just got my 12.5 illuminated EP.

Will we ever get to use this piece

of kit.Dont hold your breath.

Steve.

[FarSide]

I just had my Altair Astro 80ED Triplet arrive today! By the way Jason i love your garden! I wish i had that to observe in.

[Spec-Chum]

Argh, stop it, all of you!

Actually, I'm at my darts league tonight so please feel free to accept any deliveries today. None tomorrow tho!

[kamikaze1100]

monday and tuesday will be out as well coz i'm waiting on a replacment base for my skyliner 200p which i got this week but had to return the base as it was damaged in transit

[LukeSkywatcher]

With all this cloud and rain, i may as well buy some gear because it cant make it any worse.

Shame i dont need/want anything and dont have to cash to spend.

[Nevy]

Oops , sorry no viewing tonight , I got a package today

56mm EP?

I didnt even know they existed. I guess thats the difference between the worlds of people who use 1.25" and those who use 2".

[Nevy]

Yes they do exist but they're very hard to find , the others in the set are 1.25".
