Show us your set up in action at night.

I got out for the first time in a while for a short look at the moon, through cloud, obviously. This was with the Stella Mira 125mm, 15mm SLVs, Binoviewers, a 2.6x gpc and T2 prism diagonal.

Whoa! this would be classified as a yard cannon!

Ain’t it glorious having a grab n go scope. Poking through those cloud gaps…

Just seen your pic for tonight: snap!
Looks like we both grabbed and went 😊

Thinking about it, I should have put my Powertank light somewhere other than just on the ground to illuminate this picture, but oh well. Pointing at Comet Pons-Brooks with the moon and sea behind.

A rare photo of my setup in action. First time in two months it's been clear enough

Spot the schoolboy error about to happen in this picture - setting up a bit earlier than usual to have a look at Mercury then Comet Pons-Brooks.
 

Yep I did try and observe Mercury pointing over the bonnet of my car. Doh!

The Berlebach Nix II does have a brilliant high perch “Mercury” setting though 👌🏻

Beautiful night even with the full moon. I focused on my favourite doubles with Castor and Tegmine being the highlights of the evening.

My collection at PAS , of a beautiful Vixen SD115S means that I am done, happy, and contented, for sure, and for the rest of my natural etc,etc

At the moment I still have my ED103S and felt the same with that, but I was always aware of the bigger sibling.  I had a hand in Dave's ( F15 Rules ) acquisition of his , quite without knowing it, and he has reciprocated because he had suggested how good  it would be to find a discounted one at the show.  On the strength of that I rang Bresser and asked and to my amazement they did, at a tremendous discount.

They are both in perfect balance and a spell of decent sky will allow me to  align them accurately.

Dave liked it, even the ' blingy thingy ' on the Vixen, he said , but I like red, my car is red, unfortunately not a ferrari red ferrari....🤣

That is a fantastic looking set-up Steve @Saganite double bino's 🙂 

[Saganite]

Thanks Joe. 

Your payment to me for the Berlebach Nix II , of course, went into the ' pot ' to purchase the Vixen 115....

Steve, looks great with the additions too, very nice indeed.
The bonus is you survived the taking it home 😉

 

[Saganite]

So far Al, so far.....🤞😂

[mikeDnight]

Really looks lovely Steve!  And don't worry about anyone dropping you in it, everyone here has your back like their lives depend on it, because they probably do!!

[F15Rules]

Superb looking setup Steve 🫡🫡.

I'll be fascinated to get your thoughts in due course regarding a comparison between your Superfox 115mm and the big APM 150mm..

I suspect they will both complement each other in different ways...but if only one survives longer term..my money is on the Vixen!😁😁

Wow lovely set up. 

[Telescope40]

Steve @Saganite  V V nice set up for sure. I do like the “ bling” if I’m honest. Had some nice Primaluce rings etc on a SW ED 150 I had a while back. Looked fab !! 
I can’t quite convince myself my FS128 would benefit from some red accents. 
Enjoy the views. As already noted. A report would be a great read.

The red bling goes quite well with the red Vixen lettering.

Final test before going anywhere. 

Preparation for M81 and M82. The small rig contains an ASI2600MC-Pro and a Carl Zeiss Jena DDR 135mm F/3.5 @ F/5.6. The lens is thanks to @Franklin, while both an ADM clamp and a long Losmandy plate are thanks to @steppenwolf.

Shooting the Rosette! From light polluted London skies, high clouds and jet trails! Having fun though!

 First night with the Vixen would still be out if my power pack hadn't died.

RedCat 61 on a ZWO AM5, imaging the M53 from Spain (Pixel Skies Astro remote observatory).

Guiding is absolutely fantastic tonight.
