Ok, all you experts

what eyepiece and mount technique do (dob vs eq) you use when visibility is zero except when the lightning that is hitting every ten seconds brightens the sky.

Is the nagler the best with horizontal rain and lightning?

I tried a star test on a piece of lightning and not sure if it was out or not, except to say, the spider is imprinted upon my eyeball!!

Not happy, can't take the scope out, might have to talk to the wife!!!

The launceston boys are having a little star party on friday night. We will show you northerners how it is done!!!

New moon and all!!

Ahhh! It's lovely weather we are having David! Thunder, lightening, hail, wind.

Try a star test on the light bulb in the house. Atleast you will stay dry!

May as well brush-up on the technique of collimation David? It's impossible to know too much in this area. lol
