Didn’t feel comfortable with just a single carry handle, so….. 😁

 

Which tube rings and carry handles are those ?

First drawing with the TSA120, this is the raw drawing done at the eyepiece.

Io is just about to disappear behind Jupiter.

Europa has just finished transiting, it’s shadow is on the far right of Jupiter.

Nice first sketch! I tend to start with a 5mm eyepiece for 180x on the planets, but the scope will soak up magnification with no image deterioration if you want more scale and conditions allow.

It smells great, but NO-ONE is licking the lens - you know who you are 🤣

You're mean! 😑

Fully assembled and ready to go……

This is the sort of thing that shows up in my dreams... the dreams that I can't describe any further per SGL rules.

I just noticed that your Mewlon profile pic is a thing of the past! Does Mewlon know that it has fallen out of favor?! You better make sure it doesn't come for TSA on one of those cloudy nights when no one is watching!

I don’t want to be seen favouring any of them so have gone to a neutral avatar - no fights under the Christmas tree that way 👍😁

Aah but you have the C145 so it’s wash 🙂

Well, the weather forecast  is not good for the next week.

But as Arny said “I’ll be back” 🤖🙂

I’m pretty sure he will get a grasp of the situation very soon 😁

Get a grip David: I can handle it.

Final setup with the Vixen GP-DX equatorial mount, the Vixen GP could not quite handle it.

Just need some clear skies now…….
