Getting ready to rock and roll for some viewing..

Enjoy. I went with clear outside which forecast  some cloud earlier on. It’s typically been perfect 😂 I have had too many Jobs to do though so it wasn’t really going to happen tonight.

Didn't realise that those Morpheus eyepieces were so chunky!

Morning Pixies,

The Morphs are a fair chunk of glass, You can certainly get a decent grip on them when swapping over. The main lens is 37mm plus a few mm for the rubber eye cap so around 40mm total. The the barrel is slightly wider where the rubber grip begins.

The views they give are outstanding to my eye.

You mean the coaster without a beer or glass of wine on it??

I guess I have some explaining to do! being a Monday night and a "School night" I had to pass on having a cold one, The dob just didn't feel the same without a beer sitting there! Sorry to let you all down. Normal service will resume at the weekend, I will make sure I post a pic 🙂

Exactly. How do we know that Barry's not been taken over!

That is uncanny, Just like looking in the mirror 1st thing! 🙂

Well, it's a thread revival but another new owner wants to post another picture - pointed in this direction from a comment on my first light report 😁

The 200P, which my Mrs refers to as......... The Atom Bomb.... ??? Kinda like it actually! In bed with my Celestron 12x70s 🤭

They look great in the living room, huh? She’ll come round. Mine keeps moving around, moving targets and all…

.....or in my case, show us your dobs! I've posted this pic before in another thread but I thought it might add a little to the proceedings.

My Lukehurst monster waiting for darkness to fall.  It showed me some Leo galaxies and the Owl nebula before it was time to pack up

Here's the 12" StellaLyra Dob. It's big and cuddly 😜

Very nice. I think you have the ideal 2 scope setup Michael. Whilst I still swoon for the frac, I’d love a 12” dob with premium mirrors. One day…
