Certainly looks the business Charl. Look forward to seeing you first images. Fingers crossed for some sun tomorrow.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Dave, i hope i get a chance tomorrow, the forcast isnt good but id be happy with 5min to get a few snaps, i got a look through the cloud earlyer but it was gone before i could get focus and click the button,but i saw the spot and it was crisp, i think i will have to leave the barlow out cos the full disc wasnt visable.  clear skys  charl.

I'm looking forward to seeing your first light with the new toy Charl ! I'd be interested in your thoughts between its image quality and that of your recently deceased astro filter.

Cheers - Ian

Looks like clear skies are coming your way later today from south east, according to the sat images. Gear up!
