Hi everyone It’s short notice but…tonight’s edition of Horizon (BBC2 at 9pm) might be of interest. See details (from BBC website) below. Cheers, Adrian ...
... Don't worry. It was typical "Horizon". Lots of flassy graphics and very little content of any scientific merit. The conclusion, that the 'red rain', was...
Hi, Having been interested in astronomy for most of my life, and being a member of NASTRO for a few months now, I have decided it is finally time I bit the...
Hi Richard I bought a 6" scope on an equatorial mount hoping to do some astrophotography. I didn't get round to it either. I use my scope as regularly as...
Hi Richard, As you know I'm a dedicated Dob fan. However, both the scopes you mention offer excellent value for money, the Celestron probably more so. As you...
Simon, Austin, Thanks for your advice. I know the Celestron SCT is a fantastic bargain, but I have decided on the Dobsonian. The speed of setup is of more...

Hi Adrian I use Weather on Line, Metcheck and Accuweather as well as NMM22, which appears to be down at the moment. Very rarely do they agree. I built myself a...
