Are you thinking about changing to the dark side to Geoffro? 
The force Geoffro .... The force.
Its only a matter of time, Don't Meade Make nice Dobs....So it's not really like a change

Another great night, seeing surprising good, good company.
Left about 10:00 ish (saved least 1/2 a bottle foe next time) Trying to sneak up to Lostock
Aperture struck. Have acquired classic 1980's 13.1" Odyssey well modified dob. Re-coated the mirror, fiddling about with secondary...
Set up in dob alley.....no one else there to ask permission from!
Will kept FLT110 need something to use as finder! (joking)
Big big change from 4" to 13"

Hey Phil
Isn't moving to a dob actually changing to the light side rather than the dark side?
May the force be with you. Obe Wan
The alliance will accept all previous SCT and refractor owners into Dob Alley.

Phil, I could always sell you my 10 inch SCT for a finder on your new scope Then I could buy my way into Dob Alley.
Glad to hear you all had a good bit of sky to observe last night.

I won't be out tonight, so no Pony Club for me. Trying to get over the dreaded lurgy I picked up during the week. If anyones going I hope that the clouds clear for you.

I have a key but can't make it tonight.
For someone keen, they're welcome to come to my house and pick it up off me.
PM me if that's you.
