A very sturdy looking setup. ?

 

How's the light pollution where you are now compared to Cranwell? I remember you saying outdoor lighting was pretty low key there.

Hi Pete, its not much different apart from North of me is the town centre which is well lit but here I have good sky's SE, S,SW and West which I didn't at Cranwell as the garden there faced North!

That's good then Ron. ?

 

Usually there's more to see and more of interest towards the South. ?

I looked outside at 2330 last night and decided not to bother!

Nice setup Ron ? looking all shiny and solid! 

I have been itching to get out too!

I was out 2 nights ago though, and my first object was M13!

It was 2.00 am when I finally retired to bed and seeing was really good for me despite the ‘not quite dark ‘ sky. It looked fantastic at 260x, a real wow! And I compared it to M3, M56 and M 92 ?Love globs!

Hope you get out soon!

cheers!
