Just finished watching it.  I want a job in the  Gran Canaria Obs.
Sweeping the floor will do .

I enjoyed that one

From some of the largest telescopes on Earth to Pete Lawrence's 4" Vixen refractor

Canaries based astro forums must be quiet places ..... everyone outside observing all the time !

Maybe it's time to get the ultimate astronomy upgrade. A one way ticket to the Canaries.☺

Judging by the amount of cloud visible below the site though, you'd either need a penthouse flat in a very tall building, or live as a hermit on a mountain top . Hmmm, that might appeal......

An excellent episode in my opinion.

Divide it by the cost of mount, scope etc = £      a minute of use.

Dave

WOW!!!  Wouldn't 300 nights a year be wonderful???    Except that I probably wouldn't be able to cope with that much data!   A few more than a couple of dozen a year would be nice though

[Chris]

I watched it last night on catch up, and may watch it again beings I'm quite partial to scopes 

[Gina]

On now!

That many???

One of the best S&N I've seen for ages - even spotted the quasar in the NGC 891 fov - inspirational
