Thank you 🙏 I did really enjoy it in the end, I made a few mistakes but first time talking in front of 30 people was nerve racking, I feel that I got some people really interested which is my main goal 😊

Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that. It was really good fun in the end 👍

[@jesuschrist2284]

Cloudy thursday? ;)

[@RobBarter]

I know you didn't take the C11 to the pub, but would you go portable with it on your AM5? I ask as I have a FRA600 on an AM5 and considering a longer focal length addition such as 9.25 or 11" Edge HD.
I remember about 30 years ago giving a talk on Amateur Astronomy to a local pub in Lewes. It was nerve racking...until I started.

[@Learn_astrophotography]

Hi Rob, I think I’ll take the C11 on the AM5 when I go to Scotland, it’s great that such a small compact mount is so powerful. I was terrified but as you say once you start it’s not so bad 👍

[@DavesAstrophotography]

You did an amazing job Tom, well done. You were a natural. I know that feeling of shitting bricks before have to do speeches/presentations, and I guess that feeling disappeared very quickly as you were talking about something you love. hope you got a few pints that night for doing that!

[@Learn_astrophotography]

Hey Dave, yeah I was definitely 💩 it. But it was really good fun in the end, I made a few mistakes but I can definitely blame that on the beer 😂 yeah I had a fair few that night it was brilliant.
