Does it look like a scope? It's actually a glass jar of pasta, symbolic of my, ahem, healthy appetite :-)

Packing car now, see you in a while :-)

I have one like that but it's a bit small for my head. I'll bring it.

[Uplooker]

Well, what do you think is the worst thing you can do when packing for a star party???

How about dropping a 6" Newt onto concrete :-0

Thankfully no glass broken but the Revelation focused shot off down the drive! It no longer works- hopefully just needs a bit of tinkering

Think I may have to collimating my mirrors. At least I will have time to fix things if the forecast is correct.

what do you expect, some one that builds scopes like you is going to have a larger than average size head   

[KerryAnn23]

[Stu]

[KerryAnn23]

[nightfisher]

[KerryAnn23]

All set up too, bring on the clear skies :-)

[Stu]

Lucky beggars. I'm just joining the queue near the bottom of the M1, traffic looks horrendous so may be pitching in the dark at this rate :-(

Stu

[Spikey]

Sat in the caravan enjoying the rain.....

[Stu]

Sat in a traffic jam, enjoying the rain ;-(

[Spikey]

At least you know you don't have to rush in case it's clear.

[Marki]

Have fun guys and gals. Streaming with cold (proper man flu, honest), and the forecast really doesn't look good enough to tempt me out of me pit! Hope the skies clear for you!

[jimieee]

I won't make it this year, but I hope you guys have a good time!

[estwing]
