Good, thought you were feeling down for some reason. In bocca al lupo (good luck) with the interviews.

Hey Declan, everything OK with you? You seem a little low-tone in the last few weeks .... or maybe you're just busy?

D clan, whasssup homesikle? Finally got my borrowed SC pretty well polar aligned.

hey Declan!
I've had some clear skies lately but I needed my sleep so not much.

How about you mate?
clear skies to you!

Hey Declan my floater buddy

how are you doing? any good viewings / imaging episodes?

clear skies!

Thanks. M31 is so bright, even short subs work well. The only trick is to get a LOT of subs, because otherwise it only gives a bright core and a few dark lanes.

Congrats on hitting 2000 posts! Keep it up.

Hi Dublin,

Hope you don’t mind, ive seen a few posts from yourself on the forums about your use of the CPC800.

I was hoping to ask you a few questions relating to it and Astrography.

Im quite new to astronomy and im thinking of purchasing the CPC800, however I want to be able to use it for Deepsky imaging, do you have any experience of this, and how good is the CPC800 for doing so?

In addition, I want to view our planets and DSO, especially Saturn and its rings... what eye pieces do you think I should look at?

Many thanks

Richard.

Hi Declan,
how are you doing? sorry i have been out of touch lately bit too busy. Hope you have your parts back, and are imaging. Love to see your solar shots, and due to my b-day coming soon I may be able to get a glass solar filter and join you someday with solar viewing

Any autoguiding attempts?

CLEAR SKIES!
