Re: What If........?
Hi Alan
The Answer believe or not ! Is actually no.
There are no specialist astronomy shops in Scotland ?
I have bought nearly all my gear over the past 8 years online or traded with colleagues or from
UK Astro Buy n Sell.

Re: Horizon Special on the Transit
Oh I should perhaps point out that I'm only prepared to give a lift to members whom are
using refractors for the Transit
I would not wish any mirrored unit to bounce out of
collimation during the trip or it to offer low contrast centrally obstructed views of the event

Re: Transit of Venus
Dearest Geoffrey
I would accept a mirrored device even with its cool down , collimation and "horrendous"
central obstruction issues if it were made to a NASA specification , so that's never then

Re: Venus Transit 6 June 2012
Hi Paul
Was wondering if we need to leave that early , as I reckon it can only be about an hours drive away.
I can take four passengers but have 2 places already reserved so can accommodate another 2.
