mikeyj1 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If you're anything like me, it's just too much to wait for Christmas to get that little something for the telescope or astronomy in general. But I have resisted the urge to buy the 'SkyFi wireless adapter' to run my scope with SkySafari, and it should arrive from Santa on the 25th December! So what Astronomical goodies are you hoping for the festive season? Here's a link to mine in case you are looking for inspiration: https://store.simulationcurriculum.com/collections/accessories/products/skyfi-iii-usb-wireless-telescope-adapter cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I've asked Santa for a little travel mount http://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p4589_GIRO-WR-azimutale-Montierung-mit-Schnellkupplung-bis , a lightweight filter wheel, and the Pixinsight book (had PI for years, but never used it in anger, so time to finally get to grips with it!) ?

Rattler Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Well several years after selling my 200p Dob and other gear due to not having enough time, I'm hoping to get back into it with a 200pds and NEQ6 at some point. It's been 4 or so years since I've been in this forum so good to look through the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
