Re: BAA Solar Section Meeting 18th February 2023

Andy is based near Almeria, I have had 3 superb holidays there (3 weeks in total). After each holiday you need another holiday to recover (sleep) as I was solar observing all day and deep sky imaging all night + lots of birdwatching, walking, eating and swimming in the pool. Pure pleasure! Alexandr...

Good talks on today's meeting.

BTW, where in Spain is your B&B Andy?
Worth noting for future holiday options.

Saw your video this morning Pedro.
Looks like a very nice piece of gear.
Did you print that yourself or get it done commercially?

Re: Total solar eclipse 2024 April

Myself and my wife plan to head to Dallas and drive from there. We're reluctant to head to Mexico if I'm honest. Past experience has taught us to keep an eye on the weather, stay in an AirBnB outside the path of totality near a good highway network, and hire a car. This will be out 6th total solar e...

Re: Travel to US for Annular Eclipse 2023

Hi Michael, Thats a very interesting website, I had not come across that before!! Reading the annular eclipse report - that is very long, I will go into that later. I am not sure if it would be worthwhile to go to a annular eclipse as you have to view it always with eclipse filters and can never ta...

Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch

Just wondering if we have any Omega or Swatch fans here? Earlier this year, Omega and Swatch joined forces to release the Moonswatch - a colourful bioceramic play on Omega's flagship product the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It has generated a lot of publicity in the watch world. https://www.s...

Re: Coronado solarmax 90 II internal tuner repair

Dave, Great to finally have you here on the dark (bright!) side! I know you've looked through my Solarmax90 a few times so I'm glad you finally made the plunge. Brave man to do that mod, but it's clearly been a great success for you! This post will be really useful to anyone else with similar issues...

Thanks Bob.
I have one of the older SM90s.
Didn't realise the 100 f9s were compatible as well.
Thanks,
