Auntie FLO just gave me these.

WO Binoviewer's with two Swan 20mm 72° eyepieces, and Celestron 32mm Omni Plossl eyepiece to go with my other one.

Did you get the additional filters; (i.e. solar continuum and single polarising); too?

[RobertI]

Some interesting reading matter to help keep my interest up during these cloudy nights.

That brings back memories, loved UFO.

I have a memory of going to the Ford place in Basildon and seeing Ed Strakers car and meeting the man himself.

Turned up well dressed in best 1970’s tie, Ed complimented my neck tie, he then signed said tie. Sadly the tie is lost to time, very sad it’s not with me as it would be on display.

I just spent my first £19.95 for AP. I feel this is a slippery slope.
