brantuk Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Lol Binge - I only started this lark 5 or 6 years ago - pretty recent compared with the guys who've been at it since they were 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Q Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Like myself at 66. Started at around 10 and still learning a thing or two Now, if only Ede ordered a special cloud filter with that scope and maybe a thermal suit with a nice windbreaker, he'd be out there already and gasping at what he was seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Q Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Didn't you know most telescopes come with one? Its that black plastic thing that fits over the end of the tube. Once on, the skies will be VERY dark regardless of how much cloud you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
