    Committee have decided to offer bookings for telescopes at the observatory here so that those who booked can be assured of telescope time.

    This is an informal arrangement but you should be assured of the use of your preferred ‘scope on any particular night if you get in here first.

    Otherwise it is down to pot luck and negotiation.

    Simply add a comment with date and times you wish to have set aside for you.

    I’ll aim to be down at CAS tomorrow at around lunch if the weather is clear and get the solar scope out and take some photos with my cameras

    I saw your note re the CEM 40. I will have a look at it.

    Thanks for tidying up the edges with the weed eater.

    Cheers

    Hi

    Yea I was going to send an email regarding that, you can use RA controls, but nothing else not even DEC. Says it has main board connection issue. I looked up online about it, but only found CEM60s with that problem but seems it could be internal with plugs not connected properly. Maybe it had a bump at some point.

     

    And that’s no worries, wasn’t a huge tidy up but people said it looked tidy lol

    Cheers

    Hi All,

    I’ll be out at CAS on Saturday (13th) and possibly Friday (12th)/early-Sat (13th). I’m keen to use the iOptron tracker with the Canon 60Da. I’m also keen to have a go at using the 120mm if anyone with accreditation is around. If others are keen to use this kit as well, I happy to work out a plan.

    Cameron 🙂

    Hi, if weather permits I was thinking off heading out there too, I’m accredited on the 120 now, I was going to get some calibration frames for it but I can set you going on it if you like 🙂
