I'll be heading out to the dark site in a couple of weeks with my double best mate for some stargazing and equipment testing.
I'll take some pics of my setup/equipment etc and post them here for you to salivate over.

Good I've been busy as fuck just basically doing nothing it feels like lately but idk it could be a lot worse so fuck it
My telescopes are sitting right here still tho I need to fuck with them more. Honestly I need proper gear.

I'm not really into Dobs...they are nice to have and I'll probably get a big one at some point (I've had ones in the past and sold them).
Being 6'4" it's a pain in the ass to use them at anything other than the zenith...if you are looking at an object near or close to horizon you are basically laying on the floor to look through the eyepiece.
When I had an 8" dob I used to put it on a table...which caused stability issues but was still better than crawling around on the floor.
ETA: But you can't beat them for best "bang for the buck"

dude, just buy some cheap endoscope from china and stick it to the eye piece.

Right now I have the as mentioned Celestron 9.25 evolution which is my main scope, a 6 inch Newtonian reflector on a (vintage) German equatorial mount, A Meade ETX 125, a 6" achromatic reflector (can't use at moment because no mount for it)..that's big scope for a refractor, a Bausch and Lomb series 4000 4" SCT (more of a collection piece than for use), An meade ETX 90 (good for traveling with, sticking in the car etc), a 3" short tube reflector that I bought to use as a guidescope to piggy back on something bigger...and a couple of unmentionable pieces of shit.

can you possibly name a star or galaxy after our website and get it recognized?

thats bullshit. i have purchased 3 stars and i own 100% space mineral rights on any future acquisition of materials from this star galaxy.

So far so good for Friday night. Weather forecast so far is clear/partially cloudy which is ok, It's primary an equipment testing night anyway and showing my apprentice the ropes.
I'll be getting there before dark so will take some pics of the setup.
