Think the 'what have I let myself in for' thoughts will soon be popping into your head soupy!

[Sam Baker]

I bet this observatory is going to be amazing when you've finished!

@Soupy. the van offer still stands,

[Soupy]

Think you are right Damian, even just looking at all the wiring today it is a lot to get my head around.

It will be amazing if I can ever replicate what Richard (the guy I am buying it from) has done Sam.

I will need some help yes indeed thanks Leigh.

Let us know when you want help Paul - I know there'll be plenty of us on hand if we can help. Looks amazing!

Second that Steve, just give us a shout Paul when you need a hand.

Thanks fellas, this is the dome, hopefully we can manage to get it down and transported to mine with little trouble!!! Fingers crossed

And this is the scope set up inside..

Nice effort Kieran...

[Soupy]

Oh some more good news just in.

We have had an offer for a house in Kielder Forest accepted today...

Got enough land with it to allow some of us to camp out and enjoy the dark skies I'll stay in the house in a bed though

Looking forward to the nights drawing in after this month then spending most of the summer up there.

[Sam Baker]

I best get myself a tent!

Best do Sam

Owner of the Souper Dome ;-)

[Sam Baker]

I bet you haven't felt this excited since you were a kid! I'm looking forward to checking out the dome and the dark skies!

It's like all my Christmases at once...

[stevemuir]

Fantastic! Is that a second home, presumably, or are you leaving us?! Whichever, you won't get away without us all landing on you....

[Sammyb]

Paul - fantastic stuff! It would be great to come and camp up there.

[Soupy]

It's the holiday house... You can't get rid of me that easily. :-)

[Soupy]

Just spied this on the net... Some free advertising for us?

Click the link it's worth a browse through.

Sammy and Steve I have already cleared the camping issue with the misses. Once we get the sale through we can then work on getting a weekend or longer away there. you will be blown away with the dark skies

Typical after the inspirational talk Sam gave on planetary imaging last month, I finally finished setting up my modded xbox cam and laptop for tonight's triple shadow event on Jupiter and the clouds roll in 

[nicks90]

I know, was looking forward to having a look at that this evening.

[Soupy]

Typical, something celestially amazing is due to happen and all we get is clouds!

[Sam Baker]

I've just about had enough of these clouds, I haven't had chance to get the scope out since I went out with soupy and I need my fix!
