Gina, you need to get yourself a hobby ;-8

Gina, you need to get yourself a hobby ;-8

Preferably one that doesn't require good weather.

You'll find those in the list in The Lounge forum   Building and fiddling with 3D printers seems to be my main occupation.

Thanks Gina. I hope the weather does improve, I'd love to see some of your triple rigs finished and generating images [emoji106][emoji106]

Eagerly awaiting number 7, I've been following this for some time now.

I hope to progress this very soon now.  Have a short spell of dry weather today and making best use of it.  It's still very muddy out and difficult to get to the observatory even in the daytime.  Rain forecast and black clouds about so not sure how long I've got.  But I can tell you this is the first astro project to take to any clear night skies that might arise those not looking good in the foreseeable future.  But what does the MET Office know
