brantuk 3,524 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Just now, DRT said: Was it dressed in Santa red? Absolutely - to match the red of the rocker box which I'm going to paint soon. Should look nice I hope. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Knighty2112 4,187 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Got a nice Lunt wedge with filters from Moonshane that got delivered yesterday by the postie.

Nice and sunny here today again, so going to have a peak again to see if I can see any solar activity again soon! 8 Link to post Share on other sites

cloudsweeper 6,579 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 This GPS Module came for me. And what a fabulous aid it is! Alignment is now really quick (planet, Moon, two named stars), AND if I kick the tripod or want to move the set-up down the garden, re-alignment is again quick and easy. Next? - a better focuser for my ST120. Doug. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

cloudsweeper 6,579 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Nice one, John (@laudropb)! Here's a pic of mine wearing its semi-permanent self-centring adaptor - my nine longest FLs are all 2", or dual, or have these adaptors so they all go in and out of the 2" diagonal with ease. Rain? - I just hope it stops before the nights get shorter and lighter!! Doug. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
