SmokeyJoe Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Every Photon Counts. Not put it down since it popped through my letter box at lunchtime, thought this was pushed too much on this forum, maybe due to the author being a member or maybe because it only seems to be available from FLO, the forum sponsor. I was wrong! Great read . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having this coming week off and having a cheque to take into the bank, I think you've incentivised me to go down to town and visit the camera shop as well. Its not a particularly large cheque - just a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan White Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Parcel Force not only did not deliver my parcels the other day, they then lost then when we went to the depot to collect them! They found them 1 1/2 hours later. Sadly one was damaged and the what had been a rather nice Vixen Aluminium tripod was dented and bent, so nothing to show other than sadness this morning ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraunhoffer Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Book: Budget Astrophotography (imaging with your DSLR or Webcam) Something to read on a dull day - as well as browse the excellent tips on SGL ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Today from a secondhand bookseller of ex-library books ? The irony is: That's the University where I did my Observational Astronomy BSc course, and where they've now closed the course ? It is in pristine condition! and will actually serve as a reminder of my very enjoyable time doing that course!! An AP Barlow also arrived - with added clouds...

Alan White Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) On a far brighter note from my earlier posts, The Vixen GP Mount survived the rigours of Parcel Force ? Excuse the mess behind in the image.... It does have a Vixen Counter weight too in the same green. Nice tracked Lunar observing from now on with my ED103s ? ?

Stub Mandrel Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Should have had about £3 worth of microphone inserts inside... looks like the sewing machine ran out of cotton! (They were only wireless in the sense of no wires...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyS Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Vixen HR 2.4 mm eyepiece has been delivered. Sister (brother?) to the HR 3.4 mm I already have. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan White Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very nice, part of the Vixen HR rush going on. How do you expect it and the 3.4 to sit alongside the Nagler 3-6 Jeremy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say I love the NZ, especially for travelling, but I want to see how a well corrected fixed FL eyepiece will compare. I'm still trying to ascertain if it's possible to have too many eyepieces ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That test is one so many of us keep trying. Everytime I cut the collection back, I just buy more 'just to see'. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great band, the Winery Dogs..Billy Sheehan on bass, Richie Koetzen on lead guitar and vocals (ex-Poison among others), and Mike Portnoy, drums (ex-Dream Theatre). If you've not heard anything of them and you like rock, have a listen to "Captain Love" on YouTube ??? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
