      Hi Tich, yeah it took me a while to sort through all the footage. Been so busy building my new obsy. I can’t make the next Cloudcamp but hopefully a later one too. I am going to PAS so be great to see you. Lets make time and all grab a coffee and sit down and catch up. Clear skies to you too

    Brilliant video Glenn! We had such a great time mate! You reminded me of the fun we had, and we got a couple of clear skies! Thanks for sharing my andromeda image on your video mate! Your image came out very well, especially for the little time we actually got! Can’t wait do it all again, maybe next time, I’ll have my own camper😀 Clear skies Glenn

    • @Astrobloke

      Thank you Simon, had a great trip away with you mate. The weather was rubbish but we had a good time and still managed to image the stars. Your Andromeda was a beauty mate, got a feeling your own camper will be there.

      @Astrobloke  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmmm not sure of that. If you look through their website and paperwork there is no mention of FPL53 anywhere just reference to 2 x ED glass with air space. Where do you get this fact from please? Regardless it takes super images and is a very nice scope. I have read that its possibly FPL55. I even emailed Sharpstar for clarification, they never replied

    I'd love to make it to one of these events, but I can't always help thinking that if I didn't get any shooting done that it would be a waste of time, however, there is a bit of fun going on when you're hanging around. I wonder if I could get a camper van through my purchasing department at home? Great video of the event Glenn. Hang on, I'm getting deja vu, didn't you share this video a few weeks back?

    • @Astrobloke
      @Astrobloke  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Marc. Obviously you want the clear skies but the guys are such great fun it really doesn't matter. Loads to do and chat about. You should definitely get on one as they are well worth the effort.
      The Deja Vu might be Simon's video, I think we have some shared footage, his unboxing at least
