Guest Tweedledum Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Huzzah, A chance to point the telescope thingy's at the sky, forgotten what they looked like. Dual mounted 150mm Mak (first light) and sw120. Once had both on the discrepancy on the skytee became apparent (graham over to you). Easy targets Jupiter, m31, m42, m45 double cluster and comet lovejoy. Though at one point I thought had dewed up but a jet and contrail went directly between me and the comet! Missed by few minutes occultation of moon of Jupiter. Both with 30mm the contrast between fields of view was immediately visable. Putting 13mm in gave awesome view of Jupiter and the equatorial belts. Only stopped by the Mak icing up!!... Need to get that dewstrip and a dewshield made.

Daz Type-R Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nice one Damian, regarding that dew shield, I still have it here, my mate don't live in Mansfield no more so I have no reason to come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
