    Scope Stand

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Ok, I'm now after a lightweight but stong/well-balanced scope stand.

     

    The Opticron stand actually looks ok but I'm sure I could get a lot lighter.

     

    Currently got the Kowa TS-1 and would possibly consider a lightweight

    scope too but needs to have a nice sharp image.

     

    Open to suggestions people... especially first hand recommendations

     

    Thanks

    We cannot put up with our current providers unreliability and we are currently sorting out a new data provider, so please bare with us over the next

    few days.

     

    Thanks

    Paul,

     

    I wouldn't say very low cost, nor would I say its at the other end of the scale.

    I've worked in conjunction with some big companies providing services to

    even bigger clients and sometimes there are things that are just outwith

    your control, regardless of SLA's ;)

    Sorry for the disruption to yesterday's service folks but some nice people decided

    to attack Level 3 (one of the backbone providers for our servers) with a DoS

    attack, rendering the data connection the internet useless.

     

    To stop this attack affecting all users the feed for Level3 has been pulled

    until they have the attack under control. This attack is now only affecting

    clients who's ISP's are coming in over the Level3 network.

     

    We hope Level3 will have the situation under control shortly and we will be able

    to reconnect the feed and resume normal services, again we can only apologise

    for the disruption this attack has caused to our services, including the forum :rolleyes:

    Well it's competition time again :D

     

    This time Melbourne from 28th Feb until 22nd March. I may or may not have

    the odd chance to access the 'net when away but I appreciate your patience

    while I am away and I will sort any issues when I'm back.

    Thanks to all who have contributed to the forum over the past couple of years and

    it's now starting to slowly but surely be used on a daily basis, and seems to be

    proving useful for many - the purpose it was setup :)

    Server Upgrade

    in Info

    Posted

    Well the time has come for further improvements, we (Ikiji) are moving to

    a UK based datacentre with some nice new servers.

     

    The upgrade will be taking place this coming weekend and will mean a period

    of time where some of you will be pointing at the old server and some

    of you pointing at the new - obiously this can mean posts getting lost.

     

    Hence once some of the details are confirmed and the forum is copied over

    to the new server, I will redirect this copy (i.e. on the old server) to the

    new one but you will see the IP address in the bar at the top instead of

    http://forum.stirton.com

     

    Things will be even faster after the move, especially if you are UK based.

     

    All I ask is that you bear with me this weekend and maybe try and keep the

    posts to a minimum on Saturday.

     

    Many thanks

    Light Weight Scope Stand

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Thanks for the info Rose

     

    Thanks Trev and no, I'm not in any particular hurry.

     

    My scope is a Kowa TS1 and itself is not the lightest - that may have to be

    investigated at a later date too ;)

     

    The scope stand or tripod needs to be lights but sturdy (and capable of

    withstanding uneven firing points ;))

     

    I will take the cover off the scope and check on the attachment it has.
