Believe it or Not

My new scope arrived today, a SW 120mm F5 refractor.
And it isn't raining, it isn't windy, it isn't even cloudy.
Unbelievable.
The perfect first light!
I even put an eyepiece into the bit where the camera goes, and had a look at M42.

Congrats on the new scope JJJ.
Which particular set of Gods did you sacrifice to in order to get the good viewing conditions?

[AstralTraveller (David)]

New scope ... no cloud?? I'd check the scope carefully. It's obviously faulty in some way. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Well, it does need a new focuser.
I wanted to order a 10:1 micro focuser at the same time as I ordered the scope, but they were out of stock.
I've got to put up with a clunky R&P for now.

[AstralTraveller (David)]

Ah ha!! There we go everyone. Disguise your Feathertouch or Moonlight as a plastic R&P and ... voila! clear skies. Too easy.

Congrats Jeanette, enjoy those views before the weather gods catch up with you.

Cheers
