What’s the focal length of the 12” by the way?

Cool, I will pencil those dates in
FL is 1524mm mate, F5

Thanks Steve, that’s a very useful focal length!

Hmm, I’ve just had a quick peek at SNP and it looks like tonight, 8th Oct might provide a good opportunity for imaging the moons of Uranus. Oberon is approx 6” away around 11:00pm with the remaining moons a little further out.

Cheers
