Brian directly overhead down here. Iam at the moment cleaning my Lunt 100 and 16" Dob just for visual to start with.
Derek

Derek Klepp

Welcome back Matty. I was going to suggest the Lunt 100.I am just dusting mine off after a long layoff.It really is alovely scope for visual especially for proms.I have also found Lunt very good in there back up too.
Derek

Derek Klepp

What a way to start the day.

Derek Klepp

Lovely Brian .I know the feeling to many toys not enough time.I look foward to some Jupiter and Saturn pics at opposition.I have just purchased another dehumidifying cabinet to move some of my Solar gear and eyepieces into.Unfortunately stock is hard to get due to Covid.
Derek

Derek Klepp

Got a Moonset at dawn this morning and a few other shots.Also a picture of the Hilux and the Stars for Mark.They may look nice Mark but I would take my old Landcruisers anyday for serious offroad under load.
Derek

Derek Klepp

Always good to be around the birds.My Milky Way reflection will be the last for a while as the Moon is now setting near dawn.
Derek

Derek Klepp
