Nice central spot Charl, bit cloudy here ATM and looks like it will get cloudier.

Technosky 152 arrived yesterday but waiting for a nice chunky Losmandy dovetail for it.

Oh Dear! Have to buy some more Baader film for my home-made MAK150 filter...
I sense I will be on "make do and mend" for quite a while after buying the Lunt.
