Hiya guys!
thanks for the replies and welcomes......
I used to belong to a Davo club ie only Dave's, Davo's etc could join and of course it was a evening social club ....bad news...
Well so far had the scope for 4 days and only one night of clear skies, after weeks of mainly clear skies......
The LP filter seems a must and it's in the budget for next month. Until then I'm going to have to man pack the scope and mount into a darker location. I'm going to have to make a carrying frame of something which is another project spawning into life.
