Mike,

This is with the old scope (Orion Europa) the LX90 is much better but was unavailable. I've sent is back to get the focuser fixed.

As soon as I get a chance (probably in about two weeks) I'll give you a call and pop round with the cameras for you to try if you like.

Chris

Paul,

I have some other AVI's but I don't think there going to be brilliant when I get a chance I'll look at them.

Mike,

The telescope is being fixed :sad: hopefully I'll get it soon. The problem was with a bent focus rod.

Chris.
Glad to hear that they found the problem,shame that it was not found before selling it to you.
I've got myself a new right- ang 8X50 finder which make's life a lot better (ie don't fall flat on me back quite so often, trying to limbo dance under the eyepiece).
See you soon
