Hi

Pricing is a big problem over here. Often there is a 1:1 dollar to pound conversion after import costs and duties/taxes have been paid. That makes things almost 30% more expensive for us.

Usually I like to buy really high quality optical goods but my dilemma here is that on my budget, the best quality refractor I could afford would be 3", medium quality 4" and the achromatic is 6" for the same price.

Maybe I'll move to the US!

Moon phase in hours

Hi

I've discovered some software that does what I need from http://www.nightskyobserver.com/LunarPhaseCD/ . I'm sure there must be free resources but I think this will do what I want and it has the added benefit of a built in lunar atlas.
