Got a second hand focuser for the Tal 100RS (the supplied one's knackered). The new (s/h) one's off a Skywatcher refractor and designed to fit everything from 90mm diameter tubes up to 120mm so should be fine for the Tal - but I might need an adptor flange running up. :)

We have just got some better accomadation for camping, it's a Pennine Pullman folding camper. It's way easier to pitch than our tent, with a few more comforts. It really surprised me that it is dead easy to tow, and doesn't really affect the fuel economy.

This is going to make EMS1 easier for the both of us. (not long now!)

Congratulations on the trailer tent/folding camper purchases. Many can be classed as either or depending on camp site rules and unit types allowed. ;-)

Just think how much space will be in the car for more stuff now the camping stuff is in the trailer tent behind. Loading up will eventally be quicker too, but in our experience not at first - it took longer lol. ;-)

Just took delivery of a s/h r&p focuser off an SW102 - it's mint condition and almost fits the Tal 100RS perfectly - just need a thin adaptor ring to fix in place. I'll be very excited to get this scope up and running :)

We've sold some camper doors, not the current ones lol. And after a conversation with a member this morning -

We've ordered a 2011 dew controller from FLO, and Dew it yourself heater strips for Waynes C8, it dewed up really badly last time at Belper. Bob the Dob is ok just looking down for a bit. ;)
