Well it was my pleasure thats for sure
...
Numbers were up by 100% on our first meet thanks to Rob
.
Apart from Gordon lighting bush fires every time he wandered off
,
all went well, the sky was pretty good later in the evening I felt and we saw some very faint objects..there was something I could not reliably say I could see
.. but that was early and it was low
.
Rob the Sun scope was excellent..I could spend all day on that. Love to do a movie thru it
.
To see the effect of different EP,s and filters was great
.
Thanks Glen for effectively doing most of the cleaning of the 12 inch
..you could notice the difference I reckon
.
I have been working hard on the shed
... added another scope to the rig on the pier (70 x 600) so I get rid of that find the object problem
.
Wired up with a new battery
, got a 12 vlt hair dryer
, wired in light, fan, winch, mount, and cooler unit
... only an inverter to go...$60... got 6 more wheels
, 2x angle iron to fix the floor
, and changing the winch set up
.. the friction thing is not working well and is liable to snag
...so its a simple drag the hook out system or add another winch
...
So what have you guys been up to
?
