+Bino-viewer Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi Michael. Welcome to EMS ! You're certainly a few miles away from the UK 'East Midlands' Bet you are one of our most distant followers. So how is SA astronomy........? What sort of kit do you have out there to stargaze with ?? To post pictures we have to use Flickr (or something similar) then copy / paste from there. Bit complicated, but it keeps costs down for the forum. I'm sure someone else can explain it better than me, and there are more details of how to do it elsewhere on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuckstar Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Welcome aboard, I think I speak for most of us when I say we're jealous of your skies, day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MichaelDurban Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 hello and thanks everyone for your kind welcome.. I will post some pics of my SW 10" flextube, with all the mods I have made.. Durban is warm today, even though it's winter/spring... I had some good viewing over the last few months, although it was cold outside (well..relatively...we don't get below 10 degr C here in the hills..) Just finished putting on my simple sliding mechanism for balancing the dob (courtesy of an ATM'er here at EMS) all the other mods I will post in the ATM section.. made a very exciting autofocuser mod for my dob..very easy to build ! Thanks again guys...will try that flickr thingy...never heard of it.. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Very nice Michael. Must be nice to have guaranteed observing above 10 degrees C. Most of our night time observing is below that and sometimes below freezing! Looking forward to seeing your mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi Michael, a warm welcome to EMS. Sorry for the belated welcome, I have had lappy issues but they are now all happily resolved. I have the old manual 12" Sky Watcher Dob, and I think it's a cracking bit of kit for the money. It's at the limit of what Iam happy to lug around on a night, but it certainly provides some cracking views. Make yourself at home and enjoy the forum.
