Station set on the North Norfolk coast.

Good to have you back Ron. Looking forward to the photos.

I've been on plenty of camps in my life but never an Astro camp! How many people attended?

Hi Marty, this was our local group meet, about 20 of us but next month I'm going to one in Norfolk (next to Weybourne station!) where about 800 turn up for 4 days of sky watching, it's really dark there and some come from France, Germany and beyond!
Looking forward to it already, will post some photo's during the week..

Cheers
Ron

Hi Ron,

Hope you had an enjoyable time. Looking forward to the pictures.

Part of the North America nebula, I photographed last Saturday night from the star camp near Mablethorpe. This is 8x7 min exposures, stacked and processed in Photoshop. The two previous nights were cloudy!! We saw quite a few meterorites during the night and a great clear, dark sky!!

Cheers
Ron

Stunning

mind bogglingly awesome...

Spectacular photo/s Ron. :thumbs

Cheers, Gary.

Just tried a bit of running and it seems I have a dead section of track trough the station! I need to investigate and sort it or not much will be moving!!

Cheers
Ron

This could be the culprit i think!!

looks like a little soldering job should put that right??
:thumbs;-):cool:

Your absolutely right!!



Sorted!

Cheers
Ron

I'd have put a piece of wire along the outside of that break, makes it easier to build up the solder to level with the top of the track, as is it could be a derailment waiting to happen.

Agreed Mike but I still wanted the 'clickerty clack'! :):)

Cheers
Ron

That's easy, just make a quick pass with a slitting disc to just notch the rail surface without compromising electrical continuity

That's what I did here Mike, just a bit too deep but not sure why it went through completely as I did it month's ago?

Cheers
Ron

Ron you did not go right through the rail,I could see it had snapped at the bottom hence the solder job,I also like clickety clack:roll:
:thumbs;-):cool:

Sorted now, I'll check the other rail gaps tonight just to be safe! :):)

Cheers
Ron

Ron tell the Mrs to stop slamming the shed door when you ask for more tea…Its cracking yer rails 



cheers

Ha ha Matt, will do (I should be so lucky!!) :lol::lol:

Cheers
Ron
(added some more Didcot/pendon photo's Matt)

No railways tonight, it's a clear sky here so the obsy is open and the scope ready!!

Cheers
Ron

Bit annoyed!! Wanted the USB lead to connect the Prodigy controller to the PC, £50 !!! What a rip off, I thought astro gear and leads were expensive but that is robbery  (I think!)

Cheers
Ron
