It's not the end of the Earth, I think delivery is only £1.50 : but if you purchase three things they don't charge delivery. That's my excuse for buying things in there from there and I'm sticking to it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It cost me £5 for delivery.... still, not like I'm too bothered, the diagonal is splendid and was for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkil8r Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 A remote timer thingy for the 350D. Was considering BYE, but decided with all the cables etc and cost of the program, I would make the easier step for now, leaving cash for other bits I would prefer sooner rather than later. I can move on to BYE etc as I progress later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Well - first time for me in this thread. I just took delivery of a very nice 20" f8.2 RCOS Carbon Truss Ritchey-Chretien on a Paramount ME, when my alarm woke me up! Checked my bank account and decided to get The Cambridge Photographic Star Atlas and the S&T Pocket Sky Atlas The Photo atlas is absolutely brilliant, and extremely detailed. The scale of this atlas is about 1 degree per centimetre and in most areas there is hardly a square millimetre without a star. This is not something for taking outside at night. It is a large heavy hardback coffee table type book showing the whole sky in 82 large high quality full page photos. Each opposing page has a negative image showing constellation lines/boundaries, RA/DEC lines and DSOs/doubles with their catalogue numbers. It shows DSOs and asterisms from many different and often very obscure catalogues, when they are not already listed by Messier or NGC. Anyone seen (or heard of) the clusters/asterisms Upgren 1 in Canes Venatici, Ferrero 6 in Ursa Major or Picot 1 just south of Arcturus? I'll be checking them out now. Although this is not really suitable for beginners, it is a marvellous reference for planning your observing, especially when used in conjunction with a standard star atlas, or just for staring at in wonder. And it's a bit cheaper than the RCOS Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the look of The Cambridge Photographic Star Atlas, that's another on the wanted list. Enjoy your new gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 To clarify... Dan ---- my alarm woke me up! I'd have had to sell the house (or soul) for an RCOS. Bet there isn't an RCOS this side of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Unless --- maybe I should read up about this cosmic ordering I wasn't dreaming about the atlases, honest. Sorry.
