Yep I believe you may be right, although I think the seeing may be pretty bad, not that that will stop me, think I'll check for rain and take the C14 out to cool down in a minute!

Daniel you are a trooper, especially with a portable scope the size of a dustbin, that has to go up & come down in the same evening!!!!!

Hope you do ok

Well, im pretty happy, I only got about 50 minutes on horsehead tonight, but I've proved to myself that the mount can take the guiding setup and still guide efficiently.

I had a go last night and the wind was making the guiding go all over the place, was worried it wasn't all the winds fault, but looks like it's going to be ok.

Me = Happy!
