I had two new and enjoyable experiences last night 09:55 - Feb 18 with 1520 views | GeoffSentence | Firstly, having brought a bigger telescope at the weekend, I got my first telescopic view of the Orion Nebula, which is something that floats my boat. Secondly, a short time later, I accidentally laughed at Mrs Brown's Boys. | |

Skywatcher 200 8 inch objective mirror, which is just about big enough to make out the nebula, even with the 'seeing' a bit crap like last night. Looking forward to taking a peek at some other deep sky objects and getting a better view of the gas giants. The people I bought it off have upgraded to a 400, dunno if I'll ever do that, but it is the way of telescopes to always want to get a bigger one. | |

My next door neighbour is always up to something interesting, no need for a telescope for that. | |

I expect you will be applying for your astronomers government grant Mr Sentence. Don’t worry, I’ve also laughed at Mrs Browns Boys. The guilt wears off after a week or two. | |

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |
