Guest Cazz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 "Star Clusters" by Brent Archinal and Steven Hynes. Bl**dy expensive, but should be the ultimate reference manual. Nearly on par with my new reference manual lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Turtleboy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 5m lighter socket cable for my Goto mount. OK not the most exciting purchase but at least now I can use my van batteries or power tank instead of relying on the scope's meak battery power.

Tweedledee Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have just discovered that digital back issues of Sky&Telescope magazine are available right back to the 1940s. http://www.shopatsky.com/category/sky-and-telescope-back-issues/?m=topnav_backissues You have to create an account and log-in. Then once ordered, it is an instant digital transfer of a .pdf file. It is a full colour scan of the actual printed issue. I've just bought an issue from 1980 for $5.99 as I'd read that it contained a particular article that I was interested in. I haven't even read the article yet, because I've been having such a good time browsing through to see how astronomy magazines were over 30 years ago and what equipment was available then. I will be buying some more of these back issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teslar Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Can only have happened when I was transferring things between house and car. I really have no idea as I just went to the car to get them and they were gone. They were out of view I thought and the car is always locked but the only time I can think it wasn't was at the weekend when I was transferring things between home and car. Kicking myself now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 That's such a terrible shame-sorry to hear it. I will keep an eye on the usual places and see if they come up for sale and let you know Tom. Might be worth posting on all the forums what's happened so we can all keep an eye out together?
