Awesome picture Dave

Any luck with observing /photographing Holmes? Conn I managed to get a look at it a few days ago through the 8" sct and my 3" short tube refractor (which I have on standby in case of a break in the clouds). I thought the comet looked assymetric suggesting we may see a tail when the line of sight is...

Great images Conn
What camera did you use?

Nice images Frank.
Looks like the weather is against us for the next few days.

Hi Conn I managed to get a quick look at it throught the Lidl 10x50s last night around 10pm.

Hi Guys

Do you want to bring it up at the next club meeting on the progress (and also to make sure your costs are shared)?

Nice drawings Frank! Who needs a CCD camera????

Bitten by the bug yet????

Great observing session last night. We couldn't have had better conditions. As usual, Dave's Obsessionator left us all awestruck with amazing views of M13, the dumbell, the veil (to name a few). Thanks to all who came out last night.

Hi Frank Here are three links to photo's of Jupiter, the Moon and Saturn (first attempts) for the website http://farm1.static.flickr.com/211/450472321_5205d782fb_m.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1205/775765842_039c9e7529_m.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/211/450472321_5205d782fb_m.jpg Jupiter...

If it was a 2" barrel I doubt I would be giving it away
Hopefully it might encourage a few more club members to register on the site.
