wanted to do a lot more subs but meridian flip got in the way. I have to watch it as pier shelf gets in the way when imaging at zenith. Would take it off but it is handy.

Wow! that's lovely Fay, so much detail in the wall itself and very smooth, amazing image especially for the 80ED with it's wide FOV.

The image does not appear for me ...

Thanks very much. I was quite pleased with it.

Looks very good Fay, shame about the pier flip as more subs would have brought out a lot more detail too.

I can see it now I'm home from work.  Very nice - smooth, good detail and lots of contrast.  It's well framed making it a very interesting composition.

Fay

Mark, that is very kind of you, thanks

Thanks Paul, it was nice to an image rather than mess about with the Orion

Looking good Fay - Sounds like you need to remove shelf so you can do a few more hours before having to flip..... Are you planning on adding to this?

John

Fay

Thanks John, yes, i would like to add a few more

Fay,
If you remove the fixing bolts for your shelf then cut a section of it off, you could rotate it out of the way.
If you leave the big central hole uncut, it won't fall off.
Something like this -   (if it works)

That is a very good idea, Mick. I will really consider it, could be the answer, even though it did cost £50 :cry:

Would it be worth £50 to have your problem go away ?

Not talking about total destruction (for some unknown reason) just making it smaller   ;)
