Did some Christmas shopping yesterday, got a copy of 'BANG!" all about the begining of the universe. Well...it is a Christmas present, so I won't get chance to read it until Christmas!
It's a quiet period at the moment, tonight the full moon is beautiful, but the wind is blowing at 70mph...not good for getting the scope out. I've just got a serial lead for the SLT scope and have ordered a dovetail for the ST80 to mount on the SLT. I now need an USB to RS232 converter so that I can run my laptop to the SLT for computer control. I'm looking forward to trying out the computer controlled mount on a crisp, frosty night when Orion is in all it's glory!
Snug and warm in my little shack, pity I can't control the SLT from here!
