@austere peak just a quick question, how on Earth do you manage to se the night sky near Heathrow Airport, the sky must be bright as hell during the night ?

[austere peak]

i mean i aint like really near to Heathrow airport, im like about 5 miles out from it lol

[austere peak]

i dont really do DSO, im more into planetary at the moment lol

so like i dont really see the effects of light pollution

[brave ridge]

@austere peak Ok cool, im in the Cotswolds and use a dark sky site and i think even that is bright, were i used to live the sky used to glow orange, you guys in London must have a terrible time.

[austere peak]

damn it was orange

[brave ridge]

@austere peak yeah look at this for light pollution

The lower part of the sky is a cloud

[austere peak]

Skywatcher 200p Dobsonian Telescope

[tulip prism]

This still for sale?

[marble shore]

Would you be willing to part with the EQ platform separately? If so, how much?

[austere peak]

yes

[austere peak]

only the EQ platform?

[marble shore]

Yep, just the platform as I have a 8" dob and am thinking about grabbing a platform.

[tulip prism]

Where are you based ?

[austere peak]

sorry but regarding the platform it is no longer for sale due to the motor on it not functioning

everything else is for sale

[austere peak]

based in the UK uxbridge

[austere peak]

interested @tulip prism @marble shore

?

[marble shore]

Nah I already have a dob, also shipping to US would be costly regardless.

Just in case, how much would you let the EQ platform go even with the broken motor?

[austere peak]

i mean i could give it broken for about £70
