New Filter!

Just picked up a new Orion Skyglow Astrophotography filter for Christmas. (thanks to my parents!) Unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to open the plastic casing it is in, it's seriously stuck!!! I'll get back once I actually opened it..

I think I'll buy myself a Skywatcher Star Adventurer for a wee Christmas present for myself. Didn't trust my mum to buy the right thing! She'd probably end up buying something else completely! She did get me a great t-shirt though that says "I'm either stargazing or thinking about it" so I'm a happy bunny. Hope you have had a great Christmas

HaHa. That shirt is probably the most accurate thing I have seen all day!

Merry Christmas.

Finally got the plastic casing off after like 20 minutes! Nearly broke my fingers in the process. Lol

Haha finally! Hopefully you'll get a clear night to try it out.

Very nice! I was treated with a pair of Helios Apollo 15x70’s, a 1,25” and a 2” OIII filter, a 1,25” UHC and Scott Kelly’s book Endurance. Will post tomorrow I think.

haha, me too - a new 31mm OIII filter.  Not tried to take it out of its packet yet, it needs to get to Spain
