First image processed of Saturn, not very clear as I think that was mainly due to the seeing conditions when I took the video, or ill blame the CCD Camera :) 

only processed it while game of thrones was on telly last night so i wasnt paying too much attention to the process job, so i might be able to improve it. it was from a 3min video at 60fps, i think around 10K frames, something like that. cant remeber how many were used to make the image.

I hate you lol ha ha

Lol i was going to tell him to '[removed word]' off. high quality pictures like this should be banned, esp as we know know what he was wearing when he took them. I have reported the said image to the forum mods and also to the 'Pants Astronomy night team society' dam, that spells pants too!! lol

LIGHT POLLUTION - Who Cares!

Very few by the looks of it.

I had a look at the petition for signature counts this morning and after a short flurry of activity, the count seems to have stalled at less than 5,800. Which is way less than a hundredth of one percent of the population.

I guess we won't be getting our hearing in Parliament. Very disappointing.

last night I took my telescope apart; while it seemed like a scary proposition, it was actually pretty simple and reasonably easy to put back together.

while it was deconstructed, I flocked it, added a carry handle and moved the finder shoe over so that I could move the telrad up between the finder and focuser; I drilled a couple of holes for the telrad, but couldn't find long enough bolts to properly attach it - it re-stuck ok for now though.

I also flocked the draw tube and the back of the secondary - for what that's worth - but ran out if material for my dew shield (don't know if it's worth doing that it not?)

I'll post pics later in the DIY section and send a link.

fun Astro evening without the stars :)

Flocking good fun Lee.

I did the tube on my 200pds. Wasn't particularly difficult as you say. I'm still torn on whether I could see a difference though?

I'll let you know if I can see a difference in July when the stars come back...

The carry handle was a good idea, and hopefully moving the telrad up Will make a difference to my comfort.
