How to get clouds rolling in.

Post by denababy »

Hello, yesterday I went to the Practical Astronomy Show in Kettering. I must say it was really enjoyable there was/were plenty of folk there. Also, There were plenty of vendors and, dare I say it, I bought an Explore Scientific AR 127 scope along with a Sesto Senso electronic focuser. So all the bad weather in the Midlands is down to me, sorry. I got that sized scope as I want to fit my Quark onto it, I think it will be ok up to about 150 size scope. I will of course put the uv/ir filter on the front of the diagonal. :seesaw

Congrats on the new equipment, and hopefully the clouds don't set in too long ;)
