tooth_dr Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Nice bit of ice last night on the scopes. EXIF temp 4deg. Shame the mount didn’t guide properly ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 My lappy was encased in ice except the screen on the 8th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Ewan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Talking of ice this was my 90mm Skywatcher refractor last night after being exposed to -7C for a couple of hours last night. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonynexevo925 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Mine from Saturday night - clouded over before even viewing ?? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna-tic Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Took the camera off the scope and made this silhouette, while viewing and shooting the Supermoon the other night. Orion is rising. The misty clouds shut down the viewing shortly after this was made. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's "low noise" season in all its splendor (assuming you're into imaging, Les). My main concern isn't so much ice on the scope, as it is cables getting stiff and brittle when it's really cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peco4321 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Loving all these iced up scopes. Proper hardcore. Unless of course you leave them imaging and go inside. Just saying!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carastro Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) A couple of mine taken at Astro camps. Not that you can see the kit very clearly. 1st one was in a camp in East Sussex 2016 you can see my campervan behind (the one with the slits of red showing through). You can just about make out my dual rig of the ED80/WOZS71. PS: 2nd photo is taken as a screen shot from a video that Mark Shelley made with his A7S walking around Kelling at 4am in April 2016. He says on the video that the sky was black and he couldn;t see where he was walking except through the live view on the camera, just shows how sensitive the A7S is. Again you can just about make out my ED80. My laptop had red plexi glass over it, and was inside a plastic box and yet it looks bright white, again due to the sensitivity of the A7S. PS: Just looked at the photo again, and I think this was my gold ED120 (not the ED80). Edited December 22, 2017 by carastro 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fingers almost stuck to the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
