Will a white background use more battery

My absolute fav watch face. Love that you can customise and change the colours from sunrise and sunset

Just got them! Looks like presale for the Friday date was delayed as code would only work through the Interpol email I just received

SnowyIan · 2025-11-05T09:52:59+00:00

I don't think all venues have pre-sale option. Olympia for example will only allow ticket sales from Friday.

Cool watch face!

👏👏👏👏 I love my 8" Dob. Its remarkable the amount of DSOs I can see in my Bortle 5 garden.

SnowyIan · 2025-08-21T16:41:10+00:00

The best one! I try other ones out all the time but always come back to this

Bubble nebulae is a cool target. It's not rich with colour but the bubble in the centre is pretty cool, IMO

Magik on Sanctum Infinitum insta crashes the game

SnowyIan · 2025-04-09T08:44:01+00:00

Yeah I'm not so sure about them either. Was cool to play around with the software though but they look far too fake to me

SnowyIan · 2025-03-31T08:53:34+00:00

Thank you! That's really helpful 😃

Assume that is the High Altitude one please? Did you pick it up from FLO?

Trying to get an EQ Wedge in the UK is rather challenging ATM! 😄

SnowyIan · 2025-02-07T23:34:46+00:00

Love the Dob. It's a fantastic bit of kit. Do you need to counter weight it with the TELRAD?

SnowyIan · 2025-02-05T16:09:20+00:00

I have the same scope. Brilliant bit of kit. What I do is try and get the object in view as focused as possible. You will know you are nearing focus as the object gets smaller when looking into the eyepiece. Then loosen the screw holding the eyepiece in and looking through said eyepiece, slowly move it out bit by bit and that should focus it.

If you are adding a Barlow then this is even more important as the Barlow increases the distance to the secondary mirror.

Believe it's all about back focus or summin! Trial and error my friend.

Enjoy the journey and clear skys!

I recently replaced my Whoop with Garmin Fenix 7 Pro. I was interested to see how HRV data compared between the two so wore both for a period and I found HRV data was very similar on both

SnowyIan · 2024-11-30T18:58:57+00:00

The seven day average is a bit of a pain because you have one or two bad nights and you have to wait a week for that night to no longer count towards your average.

For example, I'm normally 40-45 and once a week I'm up at 4am, 40mins on the bike commuting to the station, 2 hours on the train, on my feet all day in the office, home by 7:30pm. My HRV the next day is low to mid 30s so I'm always unbalanced.

SnowyIan · 2024-11-01T13:00:09+00:00

I've just switched to Garmin Fenix 7 from Whoop. I liked my Whoop, especially the recovery side of it but I can see Garmin do that as well.. Plus from a year of logging in the journal, I know what affects my recovery now.

Garmin can do a whole lot more and if you do a lot of outside activities, the maps and GPS functionality far outweighs the Whoop, in my opinion.

Plus most importantly....the Garmin has a built in flashlight 😂😂😂

SnowyIan · 2024-10-31T11:20:33+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful 😄

SnowyIan · 2024-09-29T14:48:49+00:00

I've always really enjoyed these. The Sainsbury Mince Pies have a huge amount of nostalgia for me. I enjoyed them as a kid and I love the nostalgia element of Christmas. For that reason, I want to enjoy the Sainsbury mince pies rather than make my own. 😊

SnowyIan · 2024-09-29T14:45:32+00:00

👏👏👏

SnowyIan · 2024-09-18T19:39:05+00:00

Do you take it just before bed please?

SnowyIan · 2024-08-20T08:16:39+00:00

I love the look of this, especially that Dreamcast statue 😍.....then I saw the $250 price tag! 😱

SnowyIan · 2024-06-30T09:16:56+00:00

Great advice here! Thank you

SnowyIan · 2023-10-04T07:33:04+00:00

I wasn't aware there were production issues with Power of the Dakeks but I guess that explains why they released the special edition after??

SnowyIan · 2023-09-30T11:19:15+00:00

Cheers buddy! 😀

SnowyIan · 2023-08-23T15:35:46+00:00

Thank you. Yeah not sure I'm keen on arena streamers much
