Sorry

[davy999]

Hi guys

May I apologize for this weather we are now experiencing, cold, wet and windy.

This was brought on by the arrival of my scope today, hope you can all forgive me in time:icon_confused:

Same here, bought enough kit lately to cloud the UK over twice.

Good luck with the new scope.

[shaunster]

Just picked up an equinox 80 today, looks like being cloudy all week lol

[yesyes]

Could everyone just stop buying stuff so that we can, for a moment, use the stuff we already have? :D

[Euan]

It's too light up here anyway, buy people.....buy!!!

[yesyes]

yeah, fair enough... buy now and stop buying when it gets dark earlier...

[LukeSkywatcher]

Someone in Dublin must have bought a 20" Obsession cuz its like a monsoon outside today.

[davy999]

Haha

Great replies Chaps!

[Ant]

I'm really sorry chaps.

I've just ordered a SX USB Filterwheel and a SX OAG.

I'm hoping that I'll have them on Thursday - But it is JUNE so it give us at least 6 weeks before we can get even close to darkness again!!!

I'm all excited now.

And you told me to stop my spending......

[Ant]

Well i figured that the SE has been condemned to weeks of cloud by YOU - so I'd order something while I can still blame you !

I'm not having that, my last purchase was......oh hang on, this afternoon. Poodoo.

[davy999]

and they say we are in recession ??

Scope all set up.. just had a nosey at the house opposite me.. can read the word union on the lock almost.. house few hundred yards away... so so far looks very good, this was through the window covered in raindrops.

Does a tripod count?

[davy999]

Does a tripod count?

Even a lens cover counts!

I'm in the queue for a Baader Hyperion Zoom .. when that ship comes in for the loooong line of people (im)patiently waiting, bye bye summer

Oh well, back to Stellarium

[davy999]

Oh Well

All set-up and nothing to see.

Oh well. a few days fiddling until the skies clear I guess.

But at least my little baby has arrived :hello2::hello2:

[Demonperformer]

All set-up and nothing to see.

Believe me, the 6SE is worth the wait.

Packs a lot of punch for the size.

I can't do much anyway, my left arm is in sling. Dislocated my shoulder back on the bank holiday sunday

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!

I want to see Saturn, don't care if it's not quite dark!!!

Why did you have to buy all this stuff!!!! I've just got this new piece of software I want to try!!!!

Hang on .....

[davy999]

:mad:well.. i have a brand new scope i never used in anger. how do you think I feel??

Flippin weather!

It's FLO's fault, they make buying stuff such fun!

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Lets just keep our fingers crossed. Its supposed to be at least dryer in the weekend

[davy999]

I put the tripod out earlier as the skies were quite clear and blue, wanted to get a chance to align for the first time .. Then.... Oh [removed word]! The clouds rolled in as the sun is going down.

Pack it away and hope for better tomorrow.

[Brendan of Borg]

Excellent posts! It cheers the cockles as I avoid the HUGE puddles on the way into work!!

I just bought a Blu-Ray player - that'll probably bring clouds in too!!

Stuff you can use indoor does not count. Now if you had bought a tent, lawnmower or anything like that .....
