John - I didn't realise that you had a Unitron 4"! :) What a fabulous looking machine that is. What year is yours?

There's one going on eBay at the moment - and should fetch a good price as it is in pretty good condition.

(or if that doesn't work, it's eBay item number 250038370299 )

I suppose you've seen the site dedicated to the restoration of one? http://www.pbase.com/benhua/unitron

Do you use it at all?

Cheers
Chris

Whoops - apologies for the hijack.... :(

hope you got that in writing h0ughy

because it WILL be fine on Saturday nite

the Owl has decreed it so

do not bother to turn, up or go home early, at your own peril
Kulnura will turn it on for us (maybe i shouldn't have put this line in)

Wouldn't mind so much if we were getting some of the wet stuff but there is stuff all of that and heaps of clouds, oh well time to plan the next project.......

Yes they cleared early last night, then when imaging A66, they came over again, but thankfully dissapeared leaving the darkest sky Ive seen for some time.
