I got my BIG binocs this morning in the mail and i am very very happy to have them. But i am very sorry for getting something new for this hobby as the weather has been and still is bad around this area. Rain and drizzle all day and still is now. Why oh why does this happen...

If it makes you feel any better download this and go full screen then sit way back somewhere else in the house and use the binos to look at it

Please no major astro purchases during the month of October !
I bet somebody buys a brand new scope to bring to the Star Camp :doh:

No thanks Houghy, too much sky glow in the pic!

Geoff, we could possibly BAN any astro equipment at the camp less than 1 month old!! :D

Hmmm.....I don't know Ed. There's a fair bit of vinetting that he hasn't processed out. Looks like a rush job to appease the masses to me. :poke: :poke: Oh yeah and the cloud came here to0, until the moon came out and I think we should blame both of them for that to0. :lol: :P

Send him to his room with his crayons until the end of October. The starcamp should be safe then.

Nice shot though h0ughy :bowdown:
