Thanks to Vicky for her help at Kelling Nice image Mark. You well and truly beat me to it in our "M51 off" LOL. I don't think I really did much to help, but I think we both got somewhere working through things together. We have both had successful first attempts with the Altair 183C. Beats faffing with those RGB filters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marci Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 So, Thursday is member’s night at WADAS, and all forecasts point to it being a fairly clear night. Is it worth folks bringing their gear down to Th’Old Mill and doing a session getting people set up / refreshed with platesolving / EQMod etc? Should be clear enough to set up outside the firedoor as we did for solar the other month... what do folks think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2STAR Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Up to North Yorkshire weekend if anyone interested, Vicky & Dec said they are interested, Bungdale Farm probably, its safe, has WC facility and Bortle 4 rating. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2STAR Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The forecast for North Yorks didnt look good this morning for the weekend, but then again, they didn't forecast these strong winds we have had all day either ! eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
