Good stuff, glad you've got nice clear skies, and somewhere to warm up!

It would be a very, VERY long walk home if I didn't have my car.

Good stuff, I regularly glimpse E in the 4" so you should be able to a little more easily. Once you see it, it will be easier to get again.

Got it ... right next to the “A” @  153 x mag using the SLV 5mm, the 8mm Ethos was not quite enough. Thank you once again Stu...... if I was a woman I would wed you ?

I was till I lost the feeling in my hands. A quick warm up and browse on here then I'll be back out, looking up until I'm numb again 

I must admit it is getting kind of chilly here now... I guess I spoke to soon earlier, back on with the hat and gloves ? after I have finished my coffee that is ❄️

[John]

Very blustery here

Some nice views of doubles with the Tak FC100DL - it's my skinniest scope so most "wind proof".  Having to grab quick glimpses between the gusts though. Not a very relaxing way to do things.

During the quieter moments the star images through the scope are really textbook in quality

Nice one Shaun! I won't tell Mrs Stu

Its poor visibility here in north Essex right now, can only see the brightest stars at the moment. I have a brand new Espirit 80ED just waiting for first light here

I used to have the Esprit 80mm, great little scope and especially good for bringing out a stars colour.

I need to be careful what I say.... I am sat in a shed with a red light shining out ?

Still cloud here

Clear means something different in South Derbyshire. All pretty frustrating when you're trying to get 600s Ha and Oiii subs of IC443.

This is 90 minutes compressed into 6 seconds

Sorry about that - I uploaded it as an mp4 as saved by the camera.

This is a .mov - if that doesn't work can you recommend a format that will work on here.

Thank you - and enjoy all 6 seconds of it - hopefully.

You can turn it into an animated GIF then it will run continuously in here without having to download it to view.

Well that’s me done for the night? and what a wonderful 7 hours it was.

7 hours? Wow! Well done! I only managed a puny 2 hours compared to that, but I did see all what I’d planned to see anyway, so I can’t complain.

 A gif version! First time I've done one of these

I managed a couple of hours last night but the wind meant that there were simply barely any steady views to be had at 100x or more which sort of defeated the purpose of having a refractor that performs well at 3x that !

Forecast is decent again tonight so I'll hope for less wind ........

 

[Pig]

Good luck John, the wind seems to have dropped quite a bit today but it is quite a bit colder ?

[FenlandPaul]

Tooled up and ready for action (well, after the kids are in bed). First time in weeks. ?
