Cant beat 'field work' seeing gear in action etc.
Have you lined up on Jupiter yet ? oh, by the way, yeah, throw that Solar filter, we did find it was cracked right through the middle too !!!
All the best & good to have met you |
Hey Bob,
I am yet to set it back up again but was planning to do it this weekend. Jupiter should be a little higher in the sky than last weekend and as I have learnt, the higher it is, the less atmosphere I have to look through!
And please everyone its ok, the Sun filter is broken and not usable. I am keeping the case of the filter and discarding the lens itself. I can make my own collimation tool with the piece I have left. NO SOLAR LENS AT ALL!!! lol
Andrew
