Default Patrick Moore keeps his promise

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?
