Patrick Moore keeps his promise

reckon that 'goto' computer stuff is cheating. Entering the id of the object on a keypad and the telescope whirs to the right direction. Maybe, but it makes it a lot more accesible to beginners. You still have to do a bit of work lining it up. I'm going to get one. I had a cheap Aldi refractor, the mount was terrible, impossible to line up on anything smaller than the moon. In the extended TSAN there's an example a a crap telescope that Paul Abel brought to the garden. It's all about the mount. Moore had 18 seconds at the start and 11 seconds at the end, when he said the 'next programme' would be about the Sun and auroras. Pretty much the norm for the last few years if there was no house guest I wonder what will happen to that? It will be shown as normal with the regulars on hand, Chris Lintott, Paul Abel, Pete Lawrence & Chris North? |
