My dear FT,would you,in your humble opinion,confirm that the tube thingie that goes between the camera and the lens (see your recently posted eDay link) really man enough to support a dSLR?...(not that I`m questioning your direction/suggestion/ability)...just want to make sure before I buy,so to speak

With a note on telescope tracking,I have a Tasco 4" reflector and,if I use the Anderson Tube and lens for 675x magnification,heavenly bodies sure do zoom across the field of vision.

Nic

Yeah,well make sure you publish it under the head "A Dummies Guide to....." ha ha ha

Just marked your links as "watch this" and really need to get my finger out and close the purchase some time.

At this rate FT,you`re going to have to write up a tuitional on how to use and get the best out of your telescope/camera hook up.

When did you take these FT?...The reason I ask is that I went out with my bazoka (yes,I`ve finally got it,the Sigma that is) on saturday evening at about 20:30 and I noticed that the sky looked grey and dusty in my shots so I`m wondering if I`m actually capturing the ash cloud from Eyjafjallajokull.

LCE (Bristol) sold me a K20D Body for £549 back in November.They`re quoting me £720 for a Sigma 50-500.

Just think yourself lucky you ain`t in Japan,it rains Datsun Cogs there...he he he

Siskins?...bloomin heck,they were disbanded in the 1930`s,weren`t they?...he he he

I`m racking my brains but don`t recall seeing any monopods being used at RAIT last year.Furthermore,the "piece to camera" by the reporter for the local BBC/ITV News,shown on the friday before the weekend,I don`t think anyone in the FRIAT Enclosure was using one.

If you`re looking for a practice event,you might want to think about The Cotswold Airshow (formally Kemble Airshow) although it`s usually more of a turbo prop show than a heli show although The Black Cats will be there.

A chip off the old block per chance?

OUCH!!!...that K20 plus lens for around £900+...my K20 body only cost me £550 and that was 4 months ago.

And a trip to Cormwall ain`t all that bad,just don`t go down (or is it the return journey) via Plymouth because of the toll on the bridge.
