YES I’M STILL ALIVE AND KICKING

It has basically been raining on and off since the beginning of April and i’ve not once been able to take my telescope outside. I did purchase a green laser pointer with a bracket as well as the Celestron piggy back camera adapter which is now all nicely attached to the optical tube and looks rather nice (or geeky).

I’ll try to add some pictures here later.

Oh and i’ve also purchased an ipad which already has a couple of great astronomy apps like Starmap HD. One particular app is supposed to sync up with a wireless receiver that attaches directly to the Nexstar line of telescopes. Unfortunately i’ve not been able to find a local supplier for this thing yet.

So – this is me hoping for summer to finally arrive….lets keep our fingers crossed.
