Evolution of my Skywatcher 150 maksutov from 2014 to 2025. From the awful Celestron AVX mount to the latest Skywatcher Fusion mount.

Sink project for my new camper is well under way. I didn't want to keep emptying the sink everytime it is used.

Colour swatches for the camper. It's really going to stand out!

My new camper build is almost ready to commence. Design sorted and trailer bought. It's going to be a rear fold soft floor design to fit better on regular caravan sites.
So excited!

First time using a flip mirror for videoing the Moon. It is so much easier centering the Moon with this. Why didn't I get one earlier!

I finally got some more time with the Eta Carina nebula with my Seestar S50. This time it was 45 minutes of 10 second exposures in mosaic mode. I am quite happy with the result.
Some editing with AI Noise reduction and Google Photos.

The Sun though my Seestar S50 from Albany Creek Queensland Australia.
I still had problems finding the Sun but I attached my solar finder with blu-tac to the main tube and found it easily. I will have to do something similar for the Moon.

I reworked my Seestar image of the Rosette Nebula I took on 23rd December whilst at Coolum Beach. I used the app Snapseed to do this and I am quite happy with it.
The mosaic mode on the Seestar S50 is a total gamechanger!

I just made a batch of gluten free blueberry muffins in the airfryer and I must say they are delicious.

I took this image almost a year ago with my club's 6 inch Skywatcher dob. It is such an underrated scope and a great beginners scope.

4 day old Moon through Seestar S50 from Coolum Beach, Queensland.
I am usually unhappy with lunar images with the Seestar but this one is not too bad.
