Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipant
Thank you Andy.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantHi Andy,
JBAA arrived yesterday. But the email hasn’t arrived. I’ve checked my spam folder. And all emails. And there is nothing from Mailchimp.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantYes. I do subscribe to the newsletter.
But I don’t get them mailed to my email.Could you send me the link please, Andy? Then I can re-subscribe.
8 January 2024 at 6:57 pm in reply to: For Sale: Altair Astro 115 F7 ED Triplet Refractor Price: £600 #621178Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantGood evening Peter,
I hope you don’t mind. But I have just posted a link to your advert on our Macclesfield AS message board. Our society are affiliated members. And I thought this might be of interest. It is an excellent telescope. I have one.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI also thought the same as Bill.
But soon realised it couldn’t be because of its angle and direction in the sky.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI agree Jeremy. The weather during 2023 has been very unsuitable for astronomy, both visual and for imaging.
I can recall how the weather changed during April and May, with a move in the jet stream, resulting in very worm weather with clear skies. But the increase in day length didn’t help.I have noticed how the skies have changed since the 1970s. Economy holidays are one major cause. I noticed last year. When we had clear skies. The sky wasn’t blue but a sort of hazy white blue, with contrails criss-crossing the sky.
I did manage to do some Astro-Imaging. Especially during the latter half of the year. But again. When we had a clear sky, it was almost at the time of Full Moon.
Happy New Year.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI am very sorry to read the sad news of Roger’s passing.
Although I didn’t know him.
He came across as being very friendly and a gentleman. I met him twice, once at one of our Macclesfield AS-BAA autumn weekends many years ago. And at a VSS meeting in Manchester.Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantGood afternoon all,
Many thanks for re-posting the October JBAA.
Mine has just arrived.Thank you.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantThank you, David.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI, also, find these timings very confusing. And often wonder. Is it absolutely necessary?
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI’m glad it isn’t just my JBAA that’s gone AWOL then.
Maybe there is an issue with our membership details.
Anyone from the BAA office/committee know what’s going on?
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI remember seeing Bob at Kelling and other Astronomy events.
I never new him personally. And I was very shocked to read today’s news.He will be sadly missed.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantThe mirrors being open to the space environment was something that worried me. I also wonder why they didn’t implement the same tech for cleaning the mirrors as we all have in our DSLR cameras?
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantHi Paul.
That looks very nice and very old.
Will you be restoring it? And have you a clue who made it.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI think the weather and the fact that it is, supposed to be Summer may have an impact. People are on holiday or working in the garden.
I haven’t posted anything lately simply because the Weather has been awful. When the Sun does shine, the skies are usually crystal clear, but I’m at work. And it’s not really dark enough to do any Astro-imaging or visual observing.That said. I do like the new look Webb site.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantI have, for the moment. Decided to keep this book.
It is very interesting and full of information and facts that I wasn’t aware of.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantGood evening.
The above was delivered on Thursday last. Unfortunately I find it to comprehensive and don’t want it. I have decided to sell for £ 45.00. I paid £60 for it, that’s £15 off. Please pm or send me n email if you are interested.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantJust ordered a copy.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantThat looks very good and very comprehensive
I’ll order a copy.
Paul Anthony BrierleyParticipantSpaceX and others- appear to have a disregard for the impact on Astronomical research when they continually pollute our skies.
I have seen too many Astro-images that have been captured by the Amature- Astronomical community. Ruined because of these satellites.
