I bought myself a 2nd hand Digitech RP50 today. I don't play my guitar much and one of the reasons is the crappy tone i get from my tubescreamer pedals. When i tried to test it out i noticed that my amp has developed a major fault on the clean channel and is unusable. I had to get out my daughters little 10 watter which i think sounds a lot better anyway. The pedal seems to have all i need to get a similar sound to my favourite pedal the ibanez fatcat although it's going to take some fiddling...

My first telescope turned up today, a cheap 114500mm from china. Now that i've started this is likely to be the first of many. I've always had an interest in astronomy but was holding out till i could afford to spend around $5k on a setup. However my daughter recently showed some interest so i thought it best to start now otherwise i might never have gotten around to it.

I chose to call this blog Comet Hunter as most other things i was trying were already taken but searching for comets might be a worthwile endeavour. Although it would be probably be easier to go digging in the hills for gold. I have an old version of Starry Nights that i'm using to find candidates for tonight, hopefully it'll be clear skies.

Last night i got some good views of the moon however looking at anything else was a pain. There were no planets out other than Venus which wasn't very exciting of course. Tonight it was just too cloudy, hopefully tomorrow night will be better...

It has been cloudy every night since the first night i got the telescope. Which was predictable i suppose. Once again it's a clear day that'll probably turn cloudy by the time it's dark.
I'm going to try capturing some images with my webcam, i'm not sure how it'll go but there's no harm in trying.
