I reviewed the first set for AN and was disappointed not to have been sent the next set as a sequel! Olly I know a bit about PI but these videos give that extra detail that I was lacking, well worth the money. For some reason they don't play well in Firefox, on my processing laptop, seems strange because it has quite good spec. I did as the trouble shoot and hacked out the mp4s and they play just fine in media player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfian Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 My letter to Santa this year is quite astro' light but if the big man thinks I might have been sufficiently good I might just find a long thin mono-pod shaped parcel in my stocking. To hedge my bets I've bought myself a new binocular. Not the one I thought I might buy, but thats maybe a story for another time. Oh, and I've also kindly asked Santa for a special edition blue ray of Blazing Saddles to keep me upbeat when its raining/hailing/snowing and i can't use my new binos. Happy Xmas to all and may your parcels not all be smellies, chocs and diaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 One of a pair of 25mm TV plossls in the sale off my wife plus Hidden Treasures by O'Meara off Obe daughter and a couple of sketchbooks off my other daughter. We adopt the get what you want from me and I'll give you the money and wrap It policy in our house. Much better to get something useful than something you'll put in a drawer.

tomato Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 A multi USB hub so hopefully I can move the laptop into the warm (I know, what a lightweight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neural Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The Christmas-and-birthday for me this year (two weeks apart) is a Vixen LVW 42mm. If you'd told me four or five years ago that one day I'd be hankering after *less* magnification.... Funny how 2350 mm of focal length can change your view on things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimvb Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 "Lessons from the Masters" is on my list. Also Baaders optics cleaning kit. At some point, dew must have dripped on my mirror and it needs cleaning bad. Will need to order it if Santa doesn't drop it down the (also nonexistent) chimney.

johnfosteruk Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I only had one thing on my list and got it: I love Mr Grego's drawings and the book is peppered with them. It's my intention to spend a lot of time with our constant companion this year and this book will be my guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
