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.

Very nice Chris, Did you bag any more this evening?

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
