I've recently moved my website because Fortune City have been taken over by another company and no longer offer free hosting. I also was thinking of moving anyway because the ads were making my site just about unviewable.

I (like billions upon billions of people worldwide) am short of cash and can't pay for hosting services.

I've found a new hosting site and moved it here:

I was interested to see this statement appear the day after I received a "lifetime ban" as a result of making an almost identical statement in response to speculation in this thread.

As the song goes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZbKHDPPrrc

The bottom line is that there has been no official response or notification as to whether this range of eyepieces is to be discontinued or not, and as the statement said the delivery date on the 12.5mm is ...

Argh, would you believe it.

Lucked into a work trip to LA for two weeks. Going to head out to Joshua Tree on my middle weekend for some night time imaging, but it's a FULL moon! No milky way shots for me... :(

I am posting to inform you all of a new astronomy App called Double Stars. It is for iPhone and is found on the Apple AppStore here:

I made the app with a friend. We are not a company - we are amateur astronomers and we make apps in our spare time. We think we have a great observing tool we’d like to share.

The App ...

A data mining project where variations of radio frequency around the 21cm hydrogen line have revealed that dark matter may combine with light (baryonic) matter to form "grey matter".

Although analysis of the results do not give enough certainty to explain a discovery, if a new form of matter has not been detected, it might also reveal some new physics which is currently unknown to us.

I think the great thing about this project is ...

My previous website host (Fortune City) is now moving to paid services only, so that was the final cue to move. Some of you who visited the site in the last few months would have seen the ads and, at times, many of the main pages were unreadable.

I am moving to 00webhost and my new URL is:

I am currently testing, so if you notice anything that ...

Spotted the New Moon at 18.20h UT with binoculars, as a very thin lying crescent. It was only 1% lit and 29h old. I have tried this often, but never succeeded, due to the hazy atmosphere here in the Netherlands. So, :D
Don´t tell me it is not a world record, but personal records do count!

Tonight 11/03/2012 at around 21:00 GMT in South East London, UK I was looking up at the stars, when I saw a very bright star. I had already been out looking at the sky for a bit and thought thats strange I did n't notice that star there before. It was in the South West direction about 70 degrees off the horizon .
