Well the new laser arrived today. Haven't opened it up yet,, carol trying to spring clean,, and Even though I got a green light to open up the new toy,, hmmm,,I ment new piece of high tech equipment,,, I declined. I could not be bothered pulling it all out and struggle to get it all back into the box ten minutes later.. It's a bit bigger than I imagined, lol.
I will use it over at the flat,, because of lack of space at carols, hmmm that didn't go down well.. with carol,, Davy will be MIA 😁 So it's got a few jobs earmarked for it, making acrylic stamps for my leather belts, acrylic signs and engraving plaques for memorial stones.
But I think Astronomy wise I can come up with a few jobs for it, Bahtinov mask for dslr lens comes to mind for one

That was quick, so now you can clock off and say your not feeling well and nip home and get it sorted.

No luck with it yet John,, sick of trying to get answers from the Chinese company,, it's the lack of English,, they keep sending files via email but not what I need,,I asked them yesterday to get someone who speaks English to talk to me,, can only keep trying,, got to the stage I'm looking at other board to fit on it to get decent software
