September Meet

[zakkhogan]

Are we still looking at meeting this weekend?

The outlook is looking a bit grim? saturday looks the best chance,

[Bluey]

I can only make Friday unfortunately, hopefully the forecast will improve.

[Dave Dubya]

I'll be up at Kelling Heath. It's looks like the remnants of Tropical Storm Leslie might make things a bit interesting.

was it really "Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2" or are you just trying to impress us?

Sent from my finger while mostly drunk

[knobby]

Is that impressive then ?

I've had an HTC hd2 windows mobile 6.5 for 3 years ... Hacked and running android for the last 2 years, but it finally died last week was quite gutted really . So got another HTC !

So the sent from bit is coz I've reloaded tapatalk ans its got the default sent from .

But if it's impressive I might keep it

It's probably not a good idea to lick your phone.

[zakkhogan]

It's probably not a good idea to lick your phone.

is that why im not getting on with my touch screen

[knobby]

well i suppose licking it will at least get all the finger prints off it !

When you say weddings - you photograph them?

[skywatcher250]

nope, ill leave that very knowledgeable task to you mark ive just had to be a best man, ushers @ 3 weddings and 1 more best man in couple weeks, its been a busy few weeks !

[Bluey]

Hi chaps, as the nights are getting darker now, are there any plans in pipeline for a meet, much as I love my back garden, I am itching to get somewhere truly dark with some geezers, if u know what I mean

[knobby]

At the risk of sounding ... Naa don't go there !

Me too

Clocks go back soon too

[skywatcher250]

100% yes - cant wait to get out again

[knobby]

I suppose, we should close this thread now ... its October !

[Simms]

Gagging to get back out there.. hopefully we will be in a position in the next few weeks..

[knobby]

just been out the back and spotted M13 ( I love M13) M56 and the ring. Very faint against the moonlit sky, makes you appreciate darkness !

[Bluey]

I went a couple of nights ago to have a go at the moon, even with a filter it was so bright, I was nearly blind in one eye for a couple of hours, but it did look spectacular. I think I actually take the moon for granted, it's just there, and to be honest, a bit of a nuisance, but when you are up close to it, it is a fantastic place to see. But still to bright

[knobby]

What scope do you use ? Have you tried masking it off to reduce the brightness, Moonshane keeps suggesting it and it does work pretty well on bright objects

[Bluey]

Cheers Nobby, I never actually thought of that, it was with the 250px, so would be easy. Mind you, the clouds did a pretty good job last night of reducing the brightness!
